I hope recipes count as tutorials because this one is my all time favorite cookie recipe! It’s super simple to make and they are soft and chewy. Makes 2 dozen.
Ingredients:
1 egg
5 ml baking soda
5 ml baking powder
125 ml brown sugar
125 ml white sugar
125 ml mini chocolate chips
300 ml rolled oats
300 ml butter
300 ml all purpose flour
Instructions:
1. Sift baking powder, baking soda and flour in a medium bowl then mix in chocolate chips and oatmeal.
2. In a large bowl cream (mix) the butter and sugars with the egg until smooth.
3. Add the powdered mixture into the larger bowl 1/3 at a time and mix well until everything is combined.
4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
5. Take a 15 ml spoon and scoop cookie dough onto a greased pan.
6. Bake 8-10 mins or until golden brown
Tips:
- Leave 2 inches between each cookie as they spread when baking!
- If you like raisins feel free to throw a handful of those in! Make sure you soak them in a bit of water and then squeeze the excess out. It makes them plump and juicy.
Yummy!

There is just something about this cute little pug face that made this a perfect post for today! Thank you to Connie, The tiny fig and one of our indie experts- for sharing.
This week’s tutorial is so cute! When I came across it I just knew I had to share it with all of you! It’s a great project for everyone to try out and perfect if you’re looking for something fun to do with the kids! Thanks Marjorie for sharing this with everyone! If you like the beads but aren’t interested in making them yourself they are also available for sale at threemoonbabies.
Above photo shows amounts of clay that will be used.You will need beige, brown, black and white colored polymer clay (tiny glass holeless beads are optional). Also, I reinforce each added piece of clay with liquid polymer clay.
The larges ball of beige clay is flattened. This will be the head.
Next grab one of the larger balls of brown clay. Shape into a triangle. This will be the snout.
Place snout on bottom, center of the beige head piece.
Next, shape two of the smaller (about half the snout amount) balls of brown clay into teardrop shapes. These will be the eye spots.
Place with pointed side up on both sides of the top of the snout.
Now, we will make the eyebrows. Take the small balls of beige (the same amount as the eye spots), and roll into tiny snakes, tapering at the ends.
Fold snakes in half pinching ends lightly together.
Place the eyebrows on the top part of the head over the eye spots with rounded ends touching in the center.
Take two more of the larger balls of brown (same amount as snout). Shape into triangles. These will be the ears.
Place on top of head, but a little off to the sides.
Side view of ears.
Back view of ears.
Now, the nose. Grab the small ball of black (about half the size of the eye spots, a quarter the size of snout). Roll into a ball, slightly oval shaped.
Place nose on the top part of the snout.
Roll tiny balls of white (about half the size of nose) to make the eye balls. Place on the center of each brown eye spot and flatten.
Add a tiny dot of black clay or tiny black holeless beads to the center of each white eyeball.
Take a needle tool or needle and press into the center, bottom half of the snout.
Side view of finished bead. Poke hole in desired position. Bake according to directions on clay package.
Have fun!

I loove it! Cute little pug. Why not add a magnet and give it to your dog lover friends. Perfect for any fridge. I also like using adorable little extras to wrap up special gifts, instead of say a bow.
