cookie1 Two new sets of neighbors! Hurray! Even better, one family has an 11-year-old boy, just like mine! Wahoo! I love watching them walk home together from the bus stop after school.

I made a mess o’ cookies to take over to both families. Taking cookies over is a good excuse if you’re a nosy neighbor (like my hubby – LOL). I had to dig through my favorite recipes to find this cookie recipe. I made a mess o’ cookies, including some cheater cookies (those Pillsbury white chocolate macadamia nut ones are gooood!) This recipe turns out cookies that look a lot like the Hershey oatmeal treats, but don’t be fooled. Spencer calls them the brownie cookies. I like them because of the whole one-bowl-in-the-microwave part. Gotta love that. Oh yeah, make sure you coarsely chop the chocolate, those big chunks of solid chocolate really make the recipe terrific!
