Kitchen Parade Extra: Oatmeal Raisin Cookies ♥

[Are you visiting for Sugar High Friday? Welcome! All the details are here. And here's my own veggie-surprise-inside contribution. Isn't blogging fun?!]

When the air conditioning goes off, the oven goes on: it's fall cookie-baking time!

[For newcomers, A Veggie Venture is pure blog, a food playground just like all the others except focused on vegetables. Kitchen Parade is the food column I write for small-town newspapers; I publish it online too, just because it's fun to share recipes with lots of people. Kitchen Parade is known for 'fresh seasonal recipes for everyday healthful eating and occasional indulgences'. Oh. And Quick Suppers.]
