On the 3rd Day of Christmas we finished decorating the tree, yes it took three days for some reason, and we made the kids favorite cookies, Oatmeal Carmelitas. The little ones helped me with the dry ingredients, and the older boys helped with chocolate chips and caramel. Truly a group effort.
If you feel so inclined to make something ooey, goey caramely, and chocolatey, then here's the recipe. I usually chill them in the fridge so they're not completely impossible to eat.
