My hope for springtime is not dashed though. I know spring will come. It can\u2019t be stopped. Just like love and life can\u2019t be stopped. So, I pull out a favorite recipe, Ginger Oatmeal Cookies, to warm me up.<\/p>\n<p>Oats are a hardy cereal grain. After being harvested and cleaned, they are hulled without stripping away the bran and germ. They are also rather high in manganese and other nutrients. In the cookie, molasses and spices perk the oats up and release a soothing aroma. Making and baking the cookies was a delicious break in my afternoon. And, I was sure to taste-test a cookie before my husband came home, to make sure they were okay to eat.<\/p>\n<p>They were. So, here is the recipe:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Ginger Oatmeal Cookies<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Mix in bowl.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\u00be cup butter<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">1 cup sugar<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">1 egg<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\u00bc cup molasses<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Mix in another bowl.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">1 \u00bd cup flour<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">2 t. baking soda<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\u00bd t. salt<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">1 t. cinnamon<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\u00be t. ground cloves<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\u00be t. ginger<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">2 cups oats<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Add the dry and wet ingredients together and mix.<\/p>\n<p>Bake at 350\u00b0 for 12-14 minutes. I like them moist so take them out of the oven closer to the 12 minute mark.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1838\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1838\" style=\"width: 663px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/269\/2013\/04\/ginger-oatmeal-cookie.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1838 \" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/269\/2013\/04\/ginger-oatmeal-cookie.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"663\" height=\"522\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1838\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ginger oatmeal cookie, notice the old-fashioned oats throughout the moist cookie<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three thousand miles away, our daughters are walking around outside amongst flowers and blooming trees, while we are bundling up in Carhart\u00ae winter clothes before walking outside into the falling snow.
