Woken up with the usual monday blues. Could already see a busy hectic day ahead. Rushing to toddlers school while struggling with his tiffin menu ,then rushing off for grocery shopping , to finish it just in time to rush back to school . Then lunch and then the much awaited afternoon Me Time! Finally ! Atleast I manage few moments of peace!
Got peanut butter in todays grocery shopping. Actually , every week , I buy something new , different to try out new recipes from. This week its peanut butter. And making cookies with the crunchy peanut butter for my lil toddler! I already know , that a peanut butter sandwich packed for tiffin would come back home untouched. But cookies is something I am pretty sure , would be a hit for my kid!
Cookies are always associated with cakes , we always say" Cakes and Cookies". There's an interesting reason behind it . Cookies were invented by accident. A small amount of cake batter was used to test the oven temperatures before baking a big cake. These little test cakes were called "koekje" in Dutch ,meaning little cake. And thats how the name "cookie".
