Many fond memories of cookies (and the cake itself) wrapped up in a napkin and brought home. Can’t wait to see the documentary!

Good thing your mom was a good baker! (My mom rarely baked but my dad was a fabulous bread baker and made occasional sweet treats we all loved.)

But I love anything with pumpkin and chocolate in it, though not usually together.

I do make what someone at my last job called “cakies,” which are cookies made with white cake mix and peanut butter, plus chocolate chips. I did not realize cookies were made with flour until I was in my late 20s (though I did often wonder why Mom’s cookies were so much fluffier than the flat ones you always see).

I thought this would be easy (and fun). Guess people aren’t into cookies as much as I am. (Biscotti are my favorite for dunking.)
