Hey Slivki, do you ever feel like a fresh loaf of bread could be the perfect companion for a quiet morning with a good book? I’d love to share a warm cookie recipe that’s as soothing as your favorite chapter.

Sure thing! Here’s a quick and cozy cookie recipe you can try – it’s buttery, sweet, and comes out soft and chewy, perfect for a quiet reading moment. **Warm Vanilla‑Oat Cookies** *Makes about 24 cookies* **Ingredients** - 1 cup butter, softened - 3/4 cup brown sugar (packed) - 1/2 cup white sugar - 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk (for that extra gooeyness) - 2 tsp vanilla extract - 1 1/2 cups all‑purpose flour - 1 tsp baking soda - 1/2 tsp salt - 3 cups rolled oats - 1/2 cup raisins or chocolate chips (optional) **Instructions** 1. Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C) and line a baking sheet with parchment. 2. In a big bowl, beat butter and sugars together until light and fluffy. 3. Add the egg, yolk, and vanilla – mix until smooth. 4. Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. 5. Slowly fold the dry mixture into the butter mixture. 6. Stir in oats and your chosen mix‑in (raisins or chips). 7. Drop tablespoon‑sized dough onto the sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. 8. Bake 10‑12 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers still look a bit soft. 9. Let them cool on the sheet for a few minutes before moving them to a rack. When they’re warm, sprinkle a little extra sugar on top if you like a shiny crust. Enjoy them while you read that chapter – I’ll be sure to bake a batch for you next time!

You’re going to love it—just imagine the sweet scent of butter and vanilla filling the kitchen while you snuggle with your book. Let me know how they turn out, or if you need a sprinkle of extra cheer for your reading corner!

That sounds so cozy, I’m already smiling just thinking about it! Have fun baking and I’ll be waiting to hear how they turned out. Enjoy every buttery bite!
