No Egg Emergency Oatmeal Cookies

First, the apple cider vinegar tonic update: Still drinking 32 oz per day, still improving. I'd give it about three more days. It's definitely working. We went to my husband's, Brian's, mom and dad's to watch college football on Saturday and his mom mixed me some in actual apple cider. It was pretty good! It tasted a lot like hard cider, which I like, so I drank it down quickly and even considered a second glass. Maybe I should keep some apple cider on hand...

Our younger son has a potluck dinner tonight at Boy Scouts, so I've been planning to make oatmeal cookies, a selection made due to a good sale on oatmeal. A "good sale" has a dual effect at our house: I buy extra, because it's on sale, and then my mother-in-law buys extra, some of which she very generously passes on to us. So, I have a lot of oatmeal, and cookies are my favorite way to use up extra oatmeal.

Unfortunately, I realized last night that I used the last egg in the cornbread on Friday, so I am currently egg free. Disaster.

Since Brian works at an office and I work from home, we decided to downsize to one car a couple of years ago. We almost never go anywhere independently, so one car was always sitting at home anyway and it was a waste to pay for insurance on two. Normally, this is a great decision, but on days when I need to make potluck food and am missing a key ingredient, I momentarily wonder whether it was such a bright idea.

Luckily, a quick online search revealed a multitude of no egg cookie recipes. I quickly found a no-egg oatmeal cookie recipe I like at Cooks.com and the boy and I will whip them up together this afternoon. He'll get credit toward his cooking badge, I'll get an extra pair of hands, Matt, the older son, might get a care package (we'll see how good they are and whether we're willing to part with any) and Brian will get the leftover cookies. Everybody wins!
