I actually went out with my husband this weekend. It was so fun. I forgot how much fun we can have together. We went to City Walk at Universal. While we had fun my kiddos were being baby sat for the second time in their little lives. I know, I know!!! That is horrible that I only left them twice, but trust me after this weekend I am going to try to do it more often!!! I had the time of my life!!
My best friend's 16 year old daughter watched my girls. She was so awesome! She is hands down the most mature, level headed, incredible sixteen year old I know. Not to mention, she has three siblings under the age of three. This makes it easy to handle a screaming 20 mo. old Bailey. When I walked in the door at 1 a.m. she had my screaming baby in her arms fast asleep. How awesome is that?!
Anyway, I knew she was coming to watch my girls. So, what do you make a growing 16 yr. old!?!? Yummy, HUGE, M and M Cookies! These turned out so great! Take my word for it! I made 36 of these GIGANTIC Cookies on Saturday and they were gone by Sunday! No joke!
I had a great weekend with my hubby and kiddos! I hope everyone enjoyed their 3 day weekend!!!!
ENJOY!!
The recipe:
4 cps. flour
1 tsp. baking soda

ReplyDeleteGreat recipe for back to school!! (for me, I mean, not the kids!) ;-)
ReplyDeleteMan, these would have been a treat back when I was a teenager and was babysitting! All I seem to remember was enjoying popcorn cakes along with a little 3-year-old I used to babysit. M&M cookies would have been superb!
ReplyDeleteDelicious cookies, my daughter would love the M&Ms in them!
ReplyDeleteclassic! love it :)
ReplyDeleteLucky! It's SO hard to find time for "us". One or more of my three ALWAYS has something going on. Usually a sporting event. Someday it will be my turn but for now it's all about them.
ReplyDeleteMiranda I really don't like to bake cookies so save me one. Depending where ya at Sanford's 5/10 minutes down the road! :)I'll bring milk!
