Cookies!

I was searching around for some fun cookie recipes for Mother's Day when I found this poem on one of the recipe sites:

The Cookie Jar

A house should have a cookie jar

for when it's half past three,

And children hurry home from school as hungry as can be.

There's nothing quite so splendid in filling children up,

as spicy fluffy ginger cakes

and sweet milk in a cup.

A house should have a mother waiting with a hug,

no matter what a boy brings home,

a puppy or a bug.

For children only loiter when the bell rings to dismiss,

if no one's home to greet them with a cookie and a kiss.

Heck yes, it's awesome when your Mom picks you up from school and has cookies waiting. And, cookies in your lunch. And, cookies after you've gone to bed.

One of my most favorite Mom memories is when Mom would make cookies for our lunches. They wouldn't be done sometimes before bedtime, so she would promise to bring some milk and cookies to us in bed! You know you are well loved as a kid when your Mom brings you cookies and milk in bed. Perhaps this is why cookies are my most favorite comfort food.

Thanks Mom, for all the cookies!!!
