Sigh.
I miss those days!
Alas, Mommy going to work times two has altered our life - BIG!
We now celebrate things that were once the norm, like fresh-baked, made-from-scratch cookies!
Today I made a recipe we had all nearly forgotten, Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies! (I am recording it here so that in the event my kids claim I never baked from scratch, I have evidence.)
2 eggs
1 c sugar
1 c brown sugar
1 c butter flavor Crisco
1.5 c peanut butter
1.5 tsp soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 c oatmeal
1.5 c flour
1 bag M&M's (optional)
Cream together sugars, shortening, peanut butter, and eggs. Add dry ingredients. Bake at 375* for 9 to 11 minutes.
This is what I miss most about being a cookie baking mommy momma -
my kids hanging with me in the kitchen!
When cookies are baking and the kids are clowning in the kitchen this momma's heart is full.
I am thankful for a rare "mommy momma" moment today.
