Biscuit and cranberry

When I had finally had enough of the constant gunfire sounds coming from the Xbox over the Pentecost long weekend, I lured the kiddo into the kitchen for a breakfast baking session. Unfortunately, due to my lack of time and his lack of interest, we only manage to bake together on weekends, but when it finally happens, it’s just as good as when he was little. Maybe it’s a bit easier now since handling every appliance no longer comes with window cleaning, bowls dropped on the floor with squealing laughter, and mom getting covered in flour with bubbling giggles. Every change brings something good, but the joy of messing around together still brings back that old feeling. ♥

Ingredients:

• 1 cup brown sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup soft butter
• 1 cup flour
• 3 cups fine oatmeal
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 100 g dried cranberries (Ruben says 200 g and he’s right!)
• 100 g crushed (I think salted) peanuts
• 100 g chocolate chips (I prefer dark)
• Zest of 1 lemon (Ruben prefers orange zest and half the juice—truly delicious that way!)
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon (of course, much more cinnamon makes it even better)

Preparation:
Mix the dry ingredients, add the eggs, then the butter, form small rounds, and bake.
175°C (350°F), 10–12 minutes.

We couldn’t stop eating…
