These Salted Caramel Sugar Cookies are AMAZING! Melt in your mouth delicious!
I don’t think I’ve ever talked about it before, but Gavin is essentially me in the body of a seven year old boy. We’re like the same person.
Which can be awesome at times. I mean, I can’t even tell you the times we’ve been in tears together cracking up watching slap stick comedy. I love that he got my sense of empathy. He really understands when someone else is going through something hard. It’s what drew me to social work, and I’m sure that it will serve him really well.
Some of our less redeeming qualities? Ummm . . . stubborn. Competitive. And we HATE being wrong.
So lately, Gavin has been doing this to me:
“Mom. What is 15 plus 8 plus 32 plus 9 plus 41?”
OMG. The anxiety! It’s like being in 3rd grade all over again and having to do Mad Minutes. Did you have those?
I want to be the first one done. I don’t want to get any wrong. I’m horrible at taking tests. I’m SO horrible at taking tests. I have to be the first one done. I have to get them all right. I cannot get any wrong. Wait. Is Leslie almost finished?? OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG. Why can’t I remember what 13 plus 3 is????
I just keep reminding myself that he’s keeping me young.
Or something.
My sweet little twinner loved these cookies. And I could tell he really loved them, since he asked if he could have more. Which he really never does when it comes to sweets . . . . it’s like he doesn’t want to push his luck, lol.
These start with the Perfect Sugar Cookie recipe and get a little extra salt and some caramel bits. Caramel bits are found near the chocolate chips, heath chips, wrapped caramels, etc in the grocery store. They are like little round balls and awesome because you get the caramel taste without all the annoying unwrapping. They hold their shape in the dough, but then get melty while the cookie bakes.
These fresh out of the oven make any math problem solvable. Seriously. They are magical.
