Good time to make some cookies!

I like to bake on rainy days and I'm guessing your home smells so good today! Makes me hungry just to see the pictures! Hope you have a lovely weekend. We had two days of rain but today is absolutely gorgeous.

Oh Jean, you are making my mouth water! I use this recipe, too, but tweak it just a bit. We use ½ c. of whole wheat flour and 1 c of white (instead of all white flour). Also, I divide the sugar into equal parts Splenda and sugar (can’t tell the difference, but there are fewer calories). Also, I only use Vietnamese (sometimes called Saigon) cinnamon, and real Mexican vanilla. YUM! Of course, I never get QUITE the yield that the box says because the dough is soooooo yummy!

Hugs,
Cathy
