Falltime means baking in our home! I love this season between September and New Year's, and I must admit that although we try to keep things relatively healthy (with a balance, of course) during these next few months, I can tend to go overboard with the cookies!! I think it is important for kids to understand the importance of good nutrition and health, but not to let them miss out on fun things and treats! Sometimes you just need to bake with butter and flour and all of the comfort things - especially this year because it has been INSANE, and there is nothing better than coming up with something fun to bake with the little ones for extra bonding and holiday excitement.

This year, Halloween looks a bit different; my kids have been a little sad they don’t get to trick or treat so we have decided to set up a little party for them, ordered some Halloween balloons on Amazon and treat bags to hide candy around the house and we will be making these TRIPLE chocolate chip cookies. This has been a recipe I have worked on for a little while to perfect a fudgy chocolate cookie. It has almost a brownie-like feel to it, thanks to the added extra melted chocolate!

I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
