MMM there is nothing quite like the smell of homemade cookies cooking in the oven. They are extra special this time of year when it is cooler outside. I find having teens in the house the cookies take longer to cook than eat. i usually need to hind them so we have a few leftover for lunches.
Check out these cookies our oldest made the other day

Oh my lands… these cookies sound delicious … since we are having a snow day today I think we just might cook some of these up.
We love making oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. We've never made them with nuts and coconut though. Sounds yummy. We'll give it a try next time we make a batch 🙂
