cookie night!!!!

over the thanksgiving weekend, we declared a new family holiday tradition - COOKIE NIGHT!  what is COOKIE NIGHT?  well, i am glad you asked - cookie night occurs every Sunday.  the plan was that i (& occasionally pat when a recipe or craving inspired him) & our handy sous chef would spend the afternoon baking up a batch of cookies.  we would celebrate our accomplishments with popcorn & a christmas special & of course, COOKIES.

this evening was our third official cookie night.
 so far we have created such yummy treats as classic peanut butter blossoms, pistachio-cream cheese sugar  cookies & maple cookies.
this evenings treats... melt-in-your-mouth pumpkin cookies.

i wish i could say this new tradition has caused our home to swell with holiday cheer.  but unfortunately the boy is really struggling.  i am not sure if it is the intoxicating aroma of butter & sugar in the air OR the uncertainty of what "movie" we will watch (our little one is not a huge fan of TV - to our joy, but in this case a little to my dismay - i want him to love the holiday specials that i did/do).  but let's just sum it up by saying there has been ALOT of drama on COOKIE NIGHT!

but despite the frequent tears & frustration - the cookies are yummy!

So fun! But, I don't think it is fair to entice your readers with delicious cookies without also sharing the recipes!
