Childhood Cookies

Moi, six years old.
{I think my mom made this dress. I have a vivid memory of wearing bright yellow tights with it. I can't help but think Betsy Johnson would have approved.}

As a child, I can remember dropping spoonfuls of no-bake cookies carefully onto the wax paper and staring, watching, waiting ever so patiently for them to be cool enough to eat.

Each bite of the chocolate-oatmeal deliciousness was to be devoured savored.

Mmmmm....

I still make 'em and love 'em!
