Who's ready for Thanksgiving? Sawyer says he is!
We do double duty, traveling to the western part of the state for lunch with Grandma's (my mother's) extended family and then back to the halfway point to do dinner with Grammy's (Josh's mother's) extended family. Five hours of driving. Two giant meals. Lots of relatives. One very long day.
With that in mind, we have to bring something ready-to-serve (no heating or refrigeration required), that travels well, and that will serve a lot of people. We opt for cookies, lots and lots of cookies!
It took four hours of baking and cooling, 4 pans for each batch (peanut butter with chocolate candies, chocolate chip, and oatmeal raisin), and lots of butter, sugar and flour! I had helpers. And tasters, if you can imagine!
