Oatmeal and Raisin Cookies

Since I was young I tried a lot of new things, even though funds was not readily available, I always find challenging myself. At school, I was probably labelled as an average student or below average (and now, I don't give a damn), but when I think about my extra curricular activities, I think as a kid, my life was pretty hectic. I joined the theatre at school, the choir at our church, did karate-do plus playing scrabble every weekend with a lovely lady (who has a cancer, I know she is peacefully resting in heaven). Even as I grew older, I always engage myself with activities that not only benefits my hunger for something new but as well as helping others, may it be humans, animals or the environment. My last post was all about degrading myself, so I think it's about time to promote myself, or I should start to shut up now. You might think, what's the point of reminiscing and writing my actvities when I was young, well, my point is, because I like trying something new, I tried baking, and believe me, I had never baked in my entire life before. My good friend or whom I call my soul sister (because of the weird connection in terms of likes and same thoughts we have), Princess or P is the real baker, she is also known as the Midnight Baker. She bake mean cupcakes and Victorian Spongecake, and by the looks of it, she bakes wicked cookies, and because of that, I asked her for the ingredients and direction of her famous oatmeal with raisin cookies. I know for a fact that I am nowhere near the prowess of Princess, but I still tried, but to be honest, I failed. I still need to practice my baking skills, but for now let me share this wonderful cookies that I made (yeah right). So, P, if you're reading this, I think you should bake me those famous cookies of yours when I get back to Mother Land! By the way, the ingredients I posted here doesn't came from my friend because of the law called Data Protection since she sells her cookies so I think it is just right not to share the secret of P's cookies.

Sift the flour and fold it in the wet ingredients, make sure just to fold it, not mix vigorously, then add the oatmeal and raisins. On a greased baking sheet or if you have this silicon pad for baking, put the mixture using a spoon on it. Bake the mixture for 10 to 15 minutes or until it became golden brown.
