Snow Day Cookies

We had snow, I mean a lot of snow. So the Sweets got not one, but two snow days this week. They had a blast, I'm still trying to recover, think play-dough in the carpet. Well on day two they decided at about 8 a.m. that they MUST have chocolate chip cookies. I said "maybe" thinking they would forget, but after being asked 200 times over the course of the day I gave in around 3 p.m. Luckily I had the ingredients and didn't have to go out in the muck. I did get a little creative when my brown sugar turned out to be a solid block, but they turned out really yummy. Here is the recipe for you to share with your loved ones on the next snow day or maybe Valentine's Day.
