Made these chocolate chunk & almond oatmeal cookies again today for those lazybums coming over to watch recorded episodes of thelittlenyonya. Crispy at the edges and almost chewy in the middle, these delectable cookies are chockful of dark chocolate chunk and chopped almonds.
Stella baked Devil's Food Cupcakes for us to take to the airport. Thank goodness for those, if not I wouldn't have survived the flight. (gross airplane food) They were really good!
