Each year around the holidays, several of the women in my family plan an official bake day. On this day, we all meet at one person's house (usually whomever has the coolest kitchen gadgets) with our KitchenAid mixers in tow. We spend an entire day—I mean literally an entire whole full day from 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. baking treats, cookies, and all sorts of holiday goodies.
At the end of the baking, we wrap up our hard work into gift baskets filled with decadence to gift to coworkers, teachers, friends, and more. Many of my most treasured holiday memories happen in the kitchen during bake day, when many of my most favorite treats are whipped up in a cloud of flour and sugar. One of those happens to be oatmeal scotchies.
