The summer my husband and I were first married, we lived in Austin, TX for three months. He had a summer internship with National Instruments, and I worked as a nanny for a 10-year-old-girl.
I had never nannied before, but it was a good gig for just the summer. I tried to do fun activities with her such as swimming in their great pool, going to the park, going to free summer movies, playing games. You know, the usual summer kid activities. She didn’t really care for any of those, though, and wanted to spend her summer playing Club Penguin on the computer.
We did find a connection, though, over cooking and baking. Her mom was so kind and said that if I would make dinner for them, that I could take half of it home for Tim and I. We had a lot of fun being in the kitchen together, and it became a daily occurrence that we both really looked forward to.
When she was on the computer, I would go through her mom’s huge collection of cookbooks and cooking magazines. I didn’t write many recipes down. Looking back, I wished I had. This recipe, however, was one of the lucky ones to make it into my cookbook.
I have to admit, though, I never made them until this year. I looked at it for the past 12 years, and always talked myself out of it. I went for it this year, and I’m so glad! These will become a favorite in our household and will now make a yearly appearance during my pumpkin crazed time.
The cookies are soft, and the white chocolate chip give the perfect sweetness. The glaze on top. Oh. My. Goodness. I could drink it. In my opinion, these get better each day, but only if you can get them to last that long.
