Coping Tools

What does a mom to five children 10 and under due to cope while the husband in on a business trip, enjoying fine dining (and yes, I am a bit jealous about that!)? She makes chocolate chip cookies!!!!

Baking this cookie in particular brings me such joy and comfort. I have a feeling it is because I used to make them all on my own as far back as I can remember...at least 3rd grade. There were plenty of mistakes along the way, but I always loved baking them. I have since perfected my recipe skills and even use a Trudy Maples secret recipe which makes the cookies soft even days later. So, any time my hubby is gone, you can almost always find me spending a late night baking some comfort...
