So apparently, it’s already November 6th. Which means there are 21 days left till Thanksgiving and 48 days till Christmas. How did this happen? Where is the time going?

I think I am still recovering from the time-change. It always takes me a couple of weeks to adjust to the shorter days.

If that’s not enough, the weather turned seriously chilly here in Kansas and I’ve been wearing scarves everyday. I don’t do well in cold.

So I baked cookies. Because cookies make everything better. These are not any fancy cookies, no special ingredients or techniques needed. They are good ol’ fashioned oatmeal cookies iced with the simplest glaze ever.

Would you like to guess how fast these disappeared? Way too fast, if you ask  me! These cookies have perfectly crispy edges and softer centers. The cinnamon in the dough really comes through in each bite. I actually like them a lot without the glaze, just plain. But the glaze makes for a great finishing touch.

These cookies would be great as a gift this holiday season. Everyone loves them and will happily munch on them! The old-fashioned cookies are so comforting and always heart-warming, it will make you happy to bake up a batch!

    These look delicious. I could take one with some coffee right about now. And I am with you. It takes me awhile to get used to the time change and I don’t do cold either. But I shouldn’t complain. I live in CA. Pinned!
