It’s officially back to school today for my three kids. This will be the first time in 8 1/2 years I have not had a side kick with me at all times. It’s a little bittersweet but I am excited to watch them continuing to grow and learn. On the first day of school I try to have some homemade cookies waiting for us when we get home. We sit around the table and talk all about the day. My 2nd grade daughter is already super excited for school. She can’t wait to start spelling. My third grade son is less than excited to learn but he is ready to master the presidential fitness test and play with his buddies at recess. My new kindergartner, well I’m not sure what he’s going to think of the day. He requested steak and macaroni in his lunch box. 🤦♀️
On the agenda after drop off is some reminiscing while baking some cookies My five year old has requested “the cookies with the frostin’ in the middle”…the frostin’ would be the white chocolate chips. 😀
So, oatmeal white chocolate chip cookies it will be. I will pretend they are a healthy after school snack cause they contain oatmeal 😉
Hope you get the chance to enjoy cookies with your loved ones soon and possibly give these or some other Gingham Apron faves below a try!
