Back to School Cookies

In my world, cookies were almost always a part of afternoon school snacks and treats. At least... it was the "snack" I most often recall! Sometimes they were healthy, like our Breakfast Cookies, but often... just plain yummy.

My mom reminded me of a poem she has tucked away in her recipe card file... it goes something like this:

A Cookie and a Kiss

A house should have a cookie jar
For when it's half past three
And children hurry home from school
As hungry as can be
There nothing quite so splendid
In filling children up
As spicy fluffy ginger cakes
And sweet milk in a cup
