Cooking
While putting together my to-make Christmas cookie list, I was flipping through the wonderful Betty Crocker's Cooky (sic) Book.
I'd already assembled a list of twenty (!...good lord; what was I thinking?) cookies and treats, but I thought these Cheerios Molasses Patties would be a neat cookie to make with Alex!
So, with Alex's help (he's so very good at 'dumping' the ingredients), I whipped up some sticky-sweet cereal goodness.
Very easy to make, if a bit of a time-waster (how freakin' long does it take to reach 250 degrees while on a low setting, anyway?).
Cheerios, peanuts, molasses, brown sugar, water, vinegar, cream of tartar and baking soda.
And how do they taste?
What do you think?!

- Birthday Cookie
I'd already made a cake for Alex's birthday party, as well as cupcakes to send to school on the actual day. So, for his much-smaller family birthday dinner, I was kind of out of ideas. One of Alex's classmates share his birthday, and her...
- Great, Great Cookies
For my very first Sugar High Friday (!), I give you a multi-generational recipe: Molasses Cookies. I realize molasses cookies aren't an earth-shattering entry. But these cookies have meaning. To us, at least. See, the recipe for these cookies comes...
