...how to bake.
One of my favorite things to bake
Sarah's Cookies
1 cup butter
2 cups packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups flour
3 cups old fashioned oats
1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
1-2 cups chocolate chips (optional)
Cream butter and brown sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. Stir in dry ingredients adding oats, nuts and chips last. Bake at 350 degrees for 10~12 minutes.
I baked these cookies for Sarah the day before her passing. I fed her small bite-size pieces soaked in milk while she laid comfortably on the couch, wrapped in her pink blanket. While mixing the ingredients together in the kitchen, I remember her quiet, weak voice asking, "Mama, you making cookies?" These warm cookies were my last gift to her.

I love all the postings of things mom taught you (us). She really is super mom, isn't she?!! Thanks for the memories and pictures.
C'mon, those glasses were probably fashionable at the time!!:) You were blessed with a wonderful mother and so was your sweet Sarah.
I'm glad you have that sweet memory. We look forward to making them.
I don't know, those glasses are pretty sweet. I am really digging the nightgown and flocked Christmas tree. Oh the memories... Weren't those glasses pink? Rad man.
What a nice memory of Sarah, and so wonderful that they are now called Sarah's cookies!
What a wonderful blessing for your whole family to be able to bake and share memories through food. And I had a pair of light colored plastic framed glasses when I was that age, too-with tinted lenses!
