For once the weather forecasters were correct for us. They said we could get 2 - 7 inches of snow and we did. Seven inches. It's been a while since we had that much snow. Our only other snow, so far this year, was about 3 inches.
I was surprised that we got so much snow. I had gotten up at 3:30 and could see puddles on our neighbors driveway and it was not snowing at all. But by 8:30 when I got up we had a good 3 inches.
It continued to snow most of morning, but it was a fine blowing snow. I wonder how much we would have gotten if the snow had been big flakes? No matter it was not a surprise when I heard a snow blower outside. What did surprise me when I looked out the window was it was in front of our house. Emmett, our neighbor two doors down, was out clearing our driveway and sidewalk. He won't ever take money from us so I knew I would be taking a break from sewing to make something for him. He does like sweets!
CRANBERRY QUICK COOKIES
1 (15.6-oz) pkg. Pillsbury Cranberry Quick Bread & Muffin Mix
3/4 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
1/2 cup coconut
1/2 cup sweetened dried cranberries.
1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel (I used dried orange peel)
1/2 cup oil
1 tablespoon water
2 eggs
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl, combine the quick bread mix, oats, coconut, cranberries and orange peel.
Mix well.
Add the oil, water, and eggs.
Mix well. (Make sure you mix until all of the dry ingredients are moist.)
Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. I used my tablespoon cookie scoop so my cookies were a little bigger than what the recipe called for. The second pan I flattened the cookie dough slightly.
Bake for 10 to 13 minutes, or until bottoms are golden brown. I cooked mine the full 13 minutes.
Remove cookies from cookie sheets to cool on a wire rack.
