Ingredients: One Cup Flour, and a Pinch of Nostalgia

I don’t know how she does it, but my mom makes cookies that taste like my childhood.

Maybe it’s because whenever I got home from elementary school, I knew it was going to be a good afternoon if there was a plate of those cookies on the table.

Maybe it’s because those cookies could fix any problem, concern, or knee scrape with a single bite.

But mostly, it’s because whenever I make those cookies as an adult, I remember how lucky I was to grow up with a family who loved me enough to make something I love so much.
