Happy Labor Day!!
I wasn’t going to post today and take a blog holiday as well, but hey- I felt like I needed to leave you with something! I hope you are all having a fabulous and safe day and enjoying this last bit of summer.
In case you are wondering what to take to that backyard bbq tonight, these cookies would be a great choice! I have to admit – I usually like my cookies thick and soft, but even though these cookies are thin, they are still chewy and delicious. I can’t believe how many of them I actually ate!!
Whatever you are doing today, I hope it’s a wonderful day!

I too, tried to refrain from my blog this weekend, but I just couldn't stay away! Glad you posted these despite the holiday – they look perfect.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder?! How was the book? I like the idea of crushing cereal and adding it to the cookies. I've always thought Cinnamon Toast Crunch would be a good one to experiment with.
Monet says
I love adding cereal to my cookies. The crunch is great! And while I usually prefer my cookies to be more like little cakes, I think that these thin and chewy beauties would still make me very happy!
