It’s been a while but today is baking day!
Serve your sweet treat for dessert tonight.
Recently Elese has really enjoyed helping me cook and today was no exception. I let Max choose what kind of treat to make and he instantly chose rollo cookies and the rest of us were please with his choice.
Surprise your little ones with a freshly baked after school snack.
If you don’t have time to bake something extravagant then just pick up some pre-made cookie dough from the store.
Max was thrilled to see that he was going to get warm cookies and milk for after school nap and Elese loved waking up to her nap with the smell of freshly baked cookies in the air. As for me, I loved that I didn’t waste the time making them from scratch because last time I did that they didn’t turn out.
Have you been craving your favorite cookies? Well today I give you my permission to cheat on your diet so do it! Just because we all want to be a size 0 doesn’t mean we should deprive our kidos from yummy treats. Cram everyone into the kitchen and start baking.
Don’t have a favorite kind of cookies (yeah right!)? Well then try my new favs. Rollo cookies! They are the very best when eaten right out of the oven so break out the stretch pants and treadmill and start eating.
I should have thought this through a little more…do we really need more sweets in our house less than a week after Halloween? So I halved the recipe. I thought about bagging it all together but once we got going I realized how badly I needed some time with my kids. Things have been a little stressful around here and once I took a moment to just bake with my kids I felt much better. It’s funny how just watching a child be happy about the simplest things (like dumping flour into a bowl) can make you feel better. If you don’t want to add another treat to your house at least do something. Let your children brighten your day a little.
