Cookies with Mama

When i was growing up, my mom always made these YUMMY chocolate oatmeal cookies. They are so delicious & they are apparently super easy to make. My sister gave me the recipe a few weeks back & since then, the boys & i have made THREE batches!! That's a LOT of cookies.

The boys love to help in the kitchen when i will allow it, so i have been involving them in these cookies every time i've made them. Jackson gets to stand on a stool & stir the chocolate, milk, & sugar together. I gave him a nice pep talk before the first batch to make sure he understood that he needed to be extra careful stirring on the stove. He took the job very seriously & felt important!Eli gets to help me measure & dump the rest of the ingredients into a large bowl. He especially loves it when the peanut butter plops out of my pampered chef wet/dry measuring cup. He just giggles!After jackson's mixture is ready, we mix it into the dry ingredients & then i spoon them out onto wax paper. They are ready & set up in no time. YUM!
