Last night I decided to make oatmeal-chocolate chip cookies with the kids for dessert.

John read me the instructions and Jackie and Justin got to stir

(and lick the spoons!).

After tasting a cookie, John informed me that

"these are the best cookies ever! We should make these every night!"

Of course these are the best cookies! We made then together and filled them with

love and laughter.

Thank you Better Homes and Gardens and your red-plaid cookbook, for helping me spend a wonderful evening with my kids.
