Crumble Cookies
Why are they called crumble cookies you may ask. Well, these were inspired by the yumminess on top of a crumble. Not that mysterious now is it. You can pretty much put anything in a cookie and they'll be tasty. A nut hater will be gobbling down the nuttiest cookies as long as it's in a cookie. I think this because it happened. It happened with these cookies. Wesley hates any nuts. Hates 'em! Throw them in a cookie and they're tolerable. I should try it with his vegetables. I can't imagine a cookie with green beans or peas in it though.
It's rather unappetizing thinking about it.

So these cookies thin out and become brown and crispy. They're crunchy and chewy with little pockets of pecans and chocolate chips. Are you digging them yet? I am. again. It's such a shame that cookies last approximately 1 day here. Most of the time, it's less time. Lucian loves cookies and cakes. He always knows when I'm about to bake. He tears himself from morning cartoons and comes out to nag. He'll lean on my right leg and tug on my shirt saying cookie.. cake.. cookie.. cake.. etc. If he breaks out the stool I use to get into the cupboards, I know he's going to try to get some dough or batter. What's a mother to do with such a cute child? I let him have some. 😀
