Ok- at a house with absolutely no baking supplies and everyone is asking for a treat.
A quick look in the cabinet found Hershey's Kisses, cocoa powder, flour, brown sugar, McCanns Instant Oatmeal, baking soda and that was about it.
Now let's look for baking utensils:
Mixer - none (my fault as it's at my cottage)
Measuring spoons - could not find any
So armed with a bowl, a teaspoon and a cup, I started to make oatmeal cookies with of course some chocolate in them
Ingredients
- 1 cup Salted Butter, Softened
- 2 cups Packed Dark Brown Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 2 whole Eggs
- 1-1/2 cup All-purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 3 cups Old Fashioned Oats
I creamed the softened butter by hand and added in the brown sugar, then the eggs and vanilla.
In a separate bowl, I combined the dry ingredients. (Not the oatmeal)
I gradually added the dry ingredients to the butter mixture
Finally the oatmeal and the chopped Hershey's Kisses
Drop by the tsp full on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 for about 10 - 12 minutes.

They were delicious and I have to say I was a little surprised. But they all disappeared.
So much for measurements!
Pictures to come soon
