Humor Me

Yes, I know this is not a food blog. Yes, I know you really just come here to see pictures of the kids. But humor me, my inner Mrs. Homemaker is in full force this week.

It is starting to feel like fall here in Virginia! Today the windows are all open and the air is cool and I wanted to bake something. That something turned out to be Ginger Cookies.


So yummy and they make me feel like fall is really here! I adapted the recipe for Gingersnaps from my favorite Better Homes and Gardens cookbook.

Ginger Cookies
2.5 cups all purpose flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
0.75 cup butter
0.25 cup molasses
1 egg
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
0.25 cup candied ginger

Mix it all together and roll in granulated sugar. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes a batch or until they start to crack on top.

YUM YUM YUM!


I cannot wait until fall is officially here! Sweaters, pumpkin and spiced cookies here I come!

No need to talk just about the kids although I love those posts too. I also love cookies and anything else you want to add!
