Cookies!

Given the choice between making gingerbread houses and baking cookies today the boys chose to bake cookies! I found a recipe for come chocolate cookies and made a few different variations and they were super tasty! Of course the boys have 2 favorite parts to baking cookies... of course the end product, eating the cookies and then their other favorite part...

EATING COOKIE BATTER!

But who doesn't love that part? I think the best ones were with chocolate chips and some peppermint extract added in, maybe could even have added more extract! 

Then after dinner and some cookies I loaded the boys up to get the mail (it hadn't come earlier when we had walked to the mailboxes) and we took a quick trip around part of the neighborhood to check out some lights! It was a nice way to get out of the house for a bit but not really do anything or spend any money hehe
