DoubleTree Signature Cookie Recipe - Makes 26 cookies
½ pound butter, softened (2 sticks)
¾ cup + 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
¾ cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 ¼ teaspoons vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 ¼ cups flour
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
Pinch cinnamon
2 2/3 cups Nestle Tollhouse semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 3/4 cups chopped walnuts
Cream butter, sugar and brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes.
Add eggs, vanilla and lemon juice, blending with mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, then medium speed for about 2 minutes, or until light and fluffy, scraping down bowl.
With mixer on low speed, add flour, oats, baking soda, salt and cinnamon, blending for about 45 seconds. Don’t overmix.
Remove bowl from mixer and stir in chocolate chips and walnuts.
Portion dough with a scoop (about 3 tablespoons) onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper about 2 inches apart.
Preheat oven to 300°F. Bake for 20 to 23 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and center is still soft.
Remove from oven and cool on baking sheet for about 1 hour.
Cook’s note: You can freeze the unbaked cookies, and there’s no need to thaw. Preheat oven to 300°F and place frozen cookies on parchment paper-lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake until edges are golden brown and center is still soft.

lilluna.com/cinnamon-roll-cake-recipe/#wprm-recipe-container-99563
Ingredients
Cake
3 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
4 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup butter melted
Cinnamon Topping
3/4 cup butter softened
1 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp flour
1 tbsp cinnamon
Glaze
2 cups powdered sugar
5 tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
Mix flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, milk, eggs and vanilla together.
Stir in melted butter, slowly. Pour into greased 9x13 pan.
Mix cinnamon topping ingredients. Drop over cake mixture evenly.
Swirl your topping and cake mixture with a knife going up and down the length of the pan (but only inserting it in the cake mix a little - not all the way).
Bake at 350 for 28-32 minutes.
Mix glaze ingredients together. Drizzle over the cake while it's still warm. ENJOY!
I like to let it cool for about 5 minutes and then pour the glaze over it. I also recommend using a glass pan if you have one. It might not be the healthiest thing, but it is very delicious!

Cindy really the oatmeal isn't bad in them - and you really can't taste the lemon juice, you do taste a hint of that cinnamon. These cookies are really good!!
Cindy what is your recipe for the boiled frosting? Are you making that chocolate cake from scratch?
Oh teen that Cinnamon Roll Cake sounds delicious - I've printed it and will be making it. Thanks!!

Yes, the chocolate cake is from scratch, one of the easiest ones I've made. Mum has been asking for one for a while now, so figured Mother's Day would be a good time to make it. She had a fall 2 weeks ago and kept saying she didn't want a cake, but Steven and I knew she would like this one.
The recipe for the frosting is:
2 egg whites
1 cup of sugar
1/3 cup of water
1 tsp vinegar
Beat the egg whites till it holds its shape
Boil the sugar, water and vinegar to 238 degrees F
Add to the whites and beat till stiff. Add 1 tsp vanilla.
It's so delicious, we made a batch the next day just to have extra with the cake! Now we have extra frosting and no cake left!

PS - It took me weeks before I could get flour to make those cookies, and only received a 5 pound bag & not my favorite brand - I need to start adding flour to my online grocery store order & hope to get some in the near future.

Teen, know what you mean about the sugar - took a while before I got some in my online pickup order at the grocery store.
Do you think butterscotch pieces or no chips at all would be good in the cookies - what about raisins? We use Benecol instead of butter.
Bob's Red Mill makes good products! I use a few.

Anne I'm sorry you are having trouble with that right wrist, bless your heart! Glad you are getting PT and I hope that makes things better for you! And it is good to hear you are seeing improvement! Were you told that eventually you will have arthritis in that wrist? When I broke my shoulder on Jan 16, 2018 [won't ever forget that date] the physical therapist told me arthritis would set in at some point, never expected it this soon but it has and that is not fun.

Yes I was warned about arthritis. I've already got it in left thumb and a couple of toes. Never heard of tube or bundt pans before today. Had to google them !!

I don't have a bundt pan, but would love to have one! I have 2 tube pans, but seem to prefer one over the other.

I have a bundt pan, tube pan and a spring form pan - read you can use a spring form pan in place of a tube pan but I never have. I use the spring form pan mainly for cheese cake - since haven't made it in years that pan hasn't been used.

I am so glad the updated guidelines state "If a response is seen (eg, platelets >50 × 109/L), the predniso(lo)ne should be tapered, aiming to stop predniso(lo)ne by 6 weeks (maximum 8 weeks), even if the platelet count drops during the taper."
