kids in the kitchen

I haven’t spent much time in the kitchen with kids lately. If I’m in there, it’s to get food made or to clean and it has to be done quickly, before baby wakes up. Yesterday, though, I was craving cookies and Little Man walked in while I was making them and asked if he could help. I put him in charge of the dry ingredients, which immediately went EVERYWHERE when he started stirring. Oh well, it’s flour, it’s easy to sweep up.


#KITK Baking Chewy Caramel Chip Cookies

I’ve been craving caramel and had half a bag of caramel chips and a bag of Heath Bits O’Brickle Toffee Bits, so I decided to make something using the two of them. I based it off my Caramel Heath Crunch Cookies but I didn’t want chocolate chips and I wanted more caramel.

I love how these cookies turned out chewy instead of crispy. I like soft in the middle cookies (but not store bought ones, they taste gross to me.) I was pleasantly surprised to find that the cookies were still soft and chewy in the middle this morning instead of hardening up after time like some cookies do.
