We all woke up a little cranky this morning...so to brighten our moods we made some yummy chocolate chip cookies.
Wow, just putting on our aprons cheers us up!
The kids love to add the ingredients and take special care not to spill anything.
Myla's new thing is to say, "Me!" when she thinks it's her turn to do something or when she wants something. She said, "Me!" when I got the brown sugar ready to add.
Then, of course, we have to lick the beaters.
The best part is eating them!Here is the best cookie recipe I've ever found. I swear, it doesn't fail (and believe me, if anyone can fail making cookies, it's me)! You can add spices, nuts, craisins and white chocolate or raisins and make it any type of cookie you'd like. Make it your own!
Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
1 c butter
1 c white sugar
1 c brown sugar
Cream together. Then add...
2 eggs
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
2 c flour
2 1/2 c quick oats, put the oats in a blender and blend it until it's flour-like
Mix ingredients together. Then add 1 package chocolate chips. I always use milk chocolate chips, none of this semi-sweet nonsense. :)
Bake at 375 degrees for 7-10 minutes. Enjoy!

No wonder your kids cheered up. What fun aprons they get to wear! If I could find a Thomas apron, I bet Liam would wear it.
I so love their aprons! Myla's is so adorable! I, too, love cookies! What a great idea to make cookies just to boost your moods! You're such a great mom!
You know, we wake up cranky around here at least once a week. Yet again, I learn another wonderful thing from you. It never occurred to me to make cookies in the morning. You're a genius, and a great mother. Man your kids are so cute, eating cookies like nothing matters. I will have to try milk chocolate chips.
We actually woke up cranky yesterday. Next time I will try making cookies to mend our cranky souls.
Yummy!! I woke up cranky I should have made cookies. I love licking the beaters too and the bowl and the spoon. : ) That's the best part!! Then I usually don't want any cookies. I wonder why?
mmmm yum, cute pictures and cookies should cheer anyone up. you are such a fun mommy.
I love it...chocolate chip cookies to mend a cranky mood...its ingenius!! Your kids are adorable, I love the way that Cade is sharing the "spoon" with Myla, that is just too precious! I can't wait to make these cookies, maybe I will wake up in a cranky mood tomorrow!
