I've decided that I want to be a chocolate chip cookie mom. I think that there is something cozy and loving and friendly about chocolate chip cookies and that's the kind of mom I want to be. Generally I'm the stingy mom. I don't like junk food. No fruit snacks, no sugar cereal, no white bread and chips are only for field trips. We get desert once a week, and I throw away any leftover Halloween candy when my kids aren't looking. However in my quest to be a good mom, I can miss something. This week everyone is tired, everyone is a little sad and I think chocolate chip cookies can help a lot. I still firmly believe that one really good way to heal tiredness and sadness is by taking care of your body and that means eating right, but it sure can bring a lot of joy to your home when you sit around the table eating cookies and milk with your kids. So I decided to make more cookies! My mother has a fabulous cookie recipe and I have altered it slightly over the years to fit our family. Go make some cookies and give your kids a smile!
Chocolate Chip Cookies
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/4 cups brown sugar
1 cup butter (softened, unless you are Becca)
2 eggs
2 cups flour
1 cup ground up oats (I just use a blender)
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. soda
1 pkg, semi sweet chocolate chips
Cream together butter and sugar. Add remaining ingredients. Drop onto cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes.

In a perfect world, warm chocolate chip cookies and milk would be a mandatory family afternoon activity.
