The Mommy Cookie
Snow day!
Snow day.
Snow day?
It’s all kinds of hot chocolate and snowman fun on the first day. The second day is a relief too, no work, more time to rest. But by the third day it’s a little ridiculous. You’re trapped inside!
To ease the monotony, I decided to collect a few of my favorite things (cinnamon, pecans and coconut) and put them into a cookie. A “Mommy” cookie. My 5-year-old doesn’t like nuts so anything with nuts in it she declares a “mommy” thing. And promptly loses interest. And that is how you get a preschooler to retreat from a treat. It gives me uninterrupted pleasure.
And mommy knows just what to do with her things. I’ll show you.
Step one: Get your milk ready.
Step Two: Admire your handy work.
Step Three: Appreciate the flavors.
