How was everyone’s Easter?

We actually had a low-key day. Didn’t go out much, just stayed in and baked cookies…in our pajamas! I love making cookies in my pajamas because it’s so much better to eat them with no tight waistband in your way.

Little man and I baked these awesome cookies early in the morning and could hardly wait to dig in. (They smelled SO good!) In fact, we didn’t wait to dig in at all. As soon as they were frosted, we got some milk and polished off a few. Warm cookies are the best, don’t you agree?

My little guy’s (and big guy’s) favorite cookies are actually oatmeal cookies, even though he doesn’t discriminate too much when it comes to cookies. I decided to make their favorite cookies but put a spring/citrus spin on them. These cookies turned out amazing with a citrus touch and vanilla to enhance all the flavors. Glaze puts these cookies over the top and right at the top of my “favorite cookies” list! I hope you’ll like them too.
