Some days, there are few things more satisfying than the simplicity of Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Sure, the flavors aren’t particularly complex. But they’re sweet and chewy, and totally delicious. Complexity can be overrated, I say.

I haven’t really addressed this yet, but here goes… You may have noticed that things are looking a little different around here lately. I finally took the plunge and decided to take my blog self hosted! Basically this means that I now have all the creative control over the functionality and appearance of A Nerd Cooks that I could ever want.

It’s a bit of a work in progress since it’s just me working on this, not a team of people. So if you happen to come across broken links or missing photos (or anything else that looks wonky), please bear with me. Also feel free to also shoot me an email to let me know! I’m steadily working through my blog posts to freshen things up and make sure that everything is working the way that it should so that you can have the most enjoyable experience possible.

Stay tuned for more updates and lots of good stuff. Thank you so much for reading and for coming along on this journey with me! I appreciate you all very much.

In the meantime, please enjoy some of these chewy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies! I think that you’ll be pretty pleased with them. I know I am. In fact, I’m eating one as I type this.

This recipe comes from Bunsen Burner Bakery. If you haven’t been to her blog yet, I strongly suggest that you do. Of course the photos are beautiful, and the food looks and sounds delicious. But I’m also a fan because she, like me, is a scientist by day. Check it out!
