Cookies and Crackers

I needed some cookies today. It's been that kind of day. I was lucky they turned out to be good because I took a "healthy" recipe and made it healthier. Want to know how? Of course you do. I used wheat flour instead of white, eliminated the granulated sugar, doubled the amount of applesauce, left out the butter, added a tablespoon of peanut butter and substituted raisins for chocolate chips. That was pretty risky. And you know what's worse than having a day where you absolutely need some cookies? Getting a bad cookie.


This picture was from the other day. I think Owen was trying to ask me to get him a graham cracker and accidentally picked up the bag by the wrong end. He left a trail of crackers behind him. It was super cute. You can see in his eyes how worried he was about the whole situation. Luckily, we operate on the assumption that our floor is always clean.

...hopefully the other half were sent to Aunt Jamie to confirm that a healthy cookie is still a tasty cookie...
