Several months ago I wondered if my kids might be tired of cookies every Thursday, so I took a few weeks off.
Oh no. That was a bad idea.
They came home wondering who the cookie monster was who had pilfered their cookies. Doesn't every kid envision walking in the door after school to homemade cookies, a glass of cold milk, and their mom asking all about their day? Mine at least did/do.
Cookie Thursday was back on.
I made all kinds: some were our regular old favorites, and some were a few new ones*.
*Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Cookies
Favorite Chocolate Chip
Sour Cream Sugar Cookies
Homemade Oreos
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip
Peppermint Chip
*Rolo Cookies
*Andes Mint Cookies
Gingersnaps
*Cookies and Cream Oreo Cookies
*Swig Sugar Cookies
Oatmeal Cookies
Lemon Crinkle Cookies
Rocky Mountain Cookies
Macadamia Nut White Chip Cookies
*Salted Peanut Butter Pretzel Cookies
and the ultimate surprise, which I didn't think I'd like so much, were:
*Root Beer Float Cookies
especially if you let them sit for a day and let the rootbeer flavor enhance.
Cookie Thursday is on hiatus until school resumes and in the meantime we have library days with a trip to the ice cream shop afterwards.
Root Beer Float Cookies
3/4 c. butter, softened
3/4 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. sugar
