Don't Forget About Life's Simple Pleasures, Like These Perfect Raisin Cookies

Throw on some Debussy and curl up with these bad boys, and you just might achieve a sweet, well-earned moment of zen.

It's important to be informed, hardworking, and charged up when you march out to face the world each morning (or afternoon, or evening, depending on your lifestyle). But let's be honest, sometimes the weight of the world just feels really fucking heavy and you need to pull back for a moment, take a breather, and practice some self-care.

There's aromatherapy; trashy movie-watching; pedicures. But warm cookies just might be the best self-care of all.

These easy, crispy oatmeal cookies are a wonderful thing all on their own, but if you happen to have a pint of ice cream sitting around, they also make VERY wonderful "bread" for ice cream sandwiches.
