We had our first big snow fall this weekend. It finally felt like December, and I was overwhelmed by a desire to go skiing. Since skiing wasn't exactly in the cards, I settled for a super snowy walk through Kensington Market. The Market is such a different place when it snows...so calm, clean and peaceful. When I got home from my walk, I realized that nothing would be better then curling up on the couch and enjoying an oven-fresh cookie. Though I wanted to try making these, or these, I lost the battle to my cookie monster and settled on classic oatmeal raisin.
