Cake Mix Cookies

Baking in a rush. I was in the middle of doing dinner when two kids asked if we could bake some cookies. They wanted to have one after dinner for dessert. I decided to oblige. After all, my youngest asked with her puppy dog look she’s renowned for and my oldest said the word “please”….

Coconut Sunflower Cookies

Weekend baking with the kids. We had a bit of an overcast day last weekend and the kids were starting to run amuck inside the house. My living room was looking more like a second-hand toy store than a place all of can relax in. I decided to whip the kids into action and get…
