Here is a long overdue recipe of mine: the recipe that saves me at 10pm at night when my baking experiments result in disaster, or when I feel like something sweet, but not in the mood to blend, mix and stir for hours and wait for another hour to get the result out of the oven. The savior on these occasions: my good old Vanilla Oatmeal Almond Cookies. I have made them so often,\u00a0 I could be half asleep (either late at night or too early in the morning), and still get them right without even checking the ingredients list.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Years ago, my mom used the original recipe as Christmas cookies. I remember that I took the recipe from her over the phone and I wrote it down in a notebook on the first page. That notebook stayed with me for a long, long time and kept my notes for just about everything: recipes, work-related to-do lists, car rental prices, phone numbers, complaint reference numbers, arrival times of visitors at Dubai airport, etc.<\/p><\/div>\n

\nOver the years I have changed so many ingredients and proportions, that I don’t even remember the original recipe. The notebook is gone too. But the cookies are delicious as ever.
