So what do you do when your brain is on overload AND your husband is driving truck until late AND your kids happen to go to sleep on the FIRST try? You bake. You make everyone's favorite cookie! For our family those happen to (currently) be a cookie I came up with by picking my favorite part of every cookie recipe - sorry if someone has also come up with this exact combo and I didn't recognize you. We call these "George Strait Cookies" because I came up with this particular recipe when making cookies to take with for our weekend in the Twin Cities to go to the George Strait concert with Scott's family. Cookies make your house smell wonderful and fresh cookies for a bedtime snack after a super long day are a small way to show Scott how much I appreciate how hard he works so that I can be home with our kids.
