i’ve been in a funk. it happens. life caught up to me. things got hectic. time seems to be slipping by awfully fast. i can’t keep up. it’s so cold.
so i baked. cause it warms up my house. cause biting into a warm cookie makes me smile, cause watching my kids inhaling cookies with those bright eyes makes me giggle.
the funk goes away…or mildly disappears, for at least a moment. a stolen moment when i close my eyes and take that first bite. nothing can beat it.
also known as the 10 minute cookie, which i have made in the past, now gluten free with a special ingredient. almond flour.
soft, buttery, chewy…carmel like, a taste that can not be missed.
one of our favorites, and easy to make. quick to cook.
and thankfully, it cured that annoying headache i had going on…kind of.
