In our family, we are huge fans of Cookie Fridays. If you aren’t aware of what Cookie Friday is, don’t worry, I think we made it up. 😉

Every Friday I make a batch of cookies for my kids and their friends that they invite home. I try to make different recipe, so the kids aren’t always eating plain old chocolate chip, or peanut butter cookies.

I do have to say, all the kids get super excited when these cookies are pulled out of the oven. I think they’ll be a hit at your house too.
