COOKIES!!

I have hugely fond memories of baking with my mom. Didn't matter really what we were making, as long as I got to crack the eggs and lick the beaters I was THERE. ;) So I keep having to remind myself that my son is only two years old and we have lots of years ahead of us to make messes in the kitchen.

And then there are days like today. Plans to go to the park, run around in the backyard while Mama does some cleanup, maybe cruise down the block on a Harley... all those plans go awry. It is wet, cold, gray, bleak. Can you ask for a more perfect day to make Pumpkin Cookies with Butterscotch Chips?
