It’s cookie time again! 
Ava and I love to bake together and we found another recipe 
from her Mouse Cookies cookbook we wanted to try {and add our own twist too}.
 These Old Fashioned Iced Oatmeal Raisin Cookies came out just right – flavor packed with a hint of ginger and cinnamon and perfectly soft and chewy. They are best served warm or try them crumbled on top of ice cream or yogurt!
Cutest picture EVER of my sweet Ava!
Nachitoches, LA
These cookies were baked for us when we stayed at the Steel Magnolia Bed and Breakfast in Nachitoches, LA. Ever since then I have been looking for a similar recipe!

  • 1 egg, beaten

  8. Bake remaining cookies. 
  9. For the icing: mix together powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl.
  10. Add more milk if needed for a smooth consistency.
  11. Using a spoon drizzle over cooled cookies.
  12. Let icing hard then serve or store in an airtight container. 
Adapted from Mouse Cookies cookbook by Laura Numeroff

Combine flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, oats, ginger, 
brown sugar, and raisins together in a large bowl.

Stir in beaten egg and vegetable oil.
Add heavy cream.
Mix well until the batter is gooey and thick.
You can taste hints of Ginger and Cinnamon
 spices in this delicious, chewy cookies. 
I know I have said it before but how cute is my little helper?!
Her stool is pretty cool too, right? Thanks Ashton!
I use my hand and a scoop to form balls of dough and drop 12-15 on a lined cookie sheet. 
Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
Remove from oven and let cool on a cooling rack while
 you bake the rest of the cookies.
To make the icing simply mix together powdered sugar and milk.
Add more milk if needed until icing is smooth. 
Using a spoon or fork, drizzle icing over cooled cookies.
Let icing harden slightly before serving. 
I like to serve these warm or crumbled on top of yogurt or ice cream! Enjoy!

🍜 We had so much fun celebrating Lunar New Year last weekend with dinner at @pho_85_noodle_house_llc in Bentonville, AR! The Banh Mi sandwich and Beef and Seafood Pho soups were filled with fresh ingredients and flavor packed. As you can see their portions were huge so it's a great place to share! We also tried an appetizer sampler, Thai Tea, Coconut Boba Smoothie (my girls' favorite) and macarons for dessert. Everything was made to order and delicious. The staff was kind and helpful. If you live near by, check them out and #eatlocall ! ❤️ @visitbentonville #Bentonville  #pho85noodlehouse #arkansasfoodie #whatsfordinner #arkansasblogger #supportlocal #bentonvillearkansas #lunarnewyear #chinesenewyear

🌟I had to step out of my comfort zone today and attend my first networking event since moving to Arkansas. I already  struggle with meeting new people and being social since I work from home but now I live in a new city and know no one. Thank goodness I found @winnwa . The networking lunch today at @bonefishgrill was exciting, encouraging, and of course, fun! Over 80 local business women attended and everyone had a chance to introduce themselves and share what they do. I look forward to more  #womeninnetworking events in the future. Hoping to make some new friends too!
➡️ Swipe to see what I left with..... Bang Bang Shrimp, of course!🦐 #winnwa #smallbusinessowner #workfromhome #bloggerlife #arkansasblogger #nwarkansas #bonefishgrill #networking
