When I was little, I always remember my Mom having freshly-baked cookies in our kitchen. My friends knew they could drop by for "Nancy cookies" anytime. My brother C.J.'s friends begged Mom to send them her cookies on their missions. My cute Mom always jokes that she should've been born with blue fur and googly eyes! Well, in keeping with that tradition, Dan and Ashlyn have started baking cookies every Sunday afternoon. We taste-test the cookie dough (...you know you do too:-) and give them away often so we don't eat them all. Here are some of our favorite new recipes as of late...
