It’s Spring Break here in Alberta, and we are immensely enjoying the slower pace of a less-filled schedule. There’s been movie nights {on a weekday!}, de-cluttering of rooms, and spontaneous trips to the pet store followed by me saying, ‘no, we can’t buy him‘ a few hundred times. 

Also on the agenda of no-schedule week? Lots of cooking and baking! I’m taking this time to re-stock the depleted freezer meals, breads and snacks. It’ll be nice to have these on hand when life isn’t so lazy.

One particular goodie that met my oven this week is Peanut Butter Maple Cookies.

This recipe is really simple to make, and I always have all the ingredients on hand to make these cookies. No special trips to the store!

It’s also a recipe that simply says, ‘combine all and mix’, which is the definition of easy when baking. 

Best of all – my little twin helpers got suited up and played a major part in the making and eating of these old fashioned peanut butter maple cookies. They did some mixing, forming of the balls and pressing with the fork.

Sure, it took a little longer than if I had done it myself. Plus, there was a little bit more of a mess too. But it was fun for us all.

There’s something special about spending a lazy afternoon making cookies with littles who think that this is the best spring break ever! … ok, it’s actually their first spring break ever, but that doesn’t matter.

What does matter is letting go of the chaos and snacking on cookies and milk right before dinner. This might be a new spring break tradition!
