But one day he was insistent. "Cook cook cook" he kept saying. So I relented. I'm not much of a baker, but we had all the things needed for homemade pumpkin cookies.
So we got out the flour, the baking soda, the pumpkin and made a huge mess of the kitchen before eight am. And by 8:15 we were enjoying fresh cookies for breakfast. He loved it, and I got to say, a hot chocolate chip pumpkin cookie with my tea did taste pretty divine.
Helping with the chocolate chips. At this point the clean kitchen is a lie. The entire sink was full of dirty dishes and James's hair had been coated in pumpkin puree.
Bake for 12 minutes.
Ummm... yum!
Because they were more cakey, I made him eat them with a fork. He loved them and ate three.
They were a fantastic start to a cold November day.
The still-sleep eyes and stripy pajamas are adorable. What a wonderful memory to have created - if not for him, then for you!
ReplyDeletecookies for breakfast is the best! but when i have cookies for breakfast, it's usually just leftover cookies from the night before ;) warm from the oven pumpkin chocolate chip cookies for breakfast sound perfect!
ReplyDeleteA mom who lets their kid have cookies for breakfast once in awhile is a great mom!!!(And is encouraging their love of cooking, too!)
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Kade and I made pumpkin chocolate chip muffins for breakfast a few days ago. How funny! Looks like the best morning ever, and your sleepy eyed boy is so precious.
