Candy Corn M&M Cookies

I've been meaning to make these cookies for over week now and I finally got around to doing it. I had all the ingredients and everything, but life just got in the way.

I made them for my co-worker who informed me the other day that my baking and sharing of treats has been slacking since I had Miss K. I decided it was due time that I shared some treats! We just can't have people making remarks like that can we?

Of course I decided to finally make them possibly on the worst night ever.

It was the night of Miss K's 4 month check up and shots at the doctor. I'm proud to report she is in the 90th percentile for height and weight. Healthy. Robust. Lovable.

Well, mostly lovable. That night went like this -

Get home from the doctor and she's sounds asleep after crying herself to sleep after 4 shots in the the leg. Ouch. It almost did mommy in. It's terrible watching that as any mother can relate. I keep trying to get the hubby to go the doctor appointment and he just won't agree too. Imagine that!

Hurry to make supper. Miss K wakes up. Content laying on floor playing with toys so I get an extra ounce of energy and decide to make cookies. Half way through the cookie making process Miss K starts throwing a fit. Feed Miss K. My supper is done. Inhale supper. Back to making cookies. Miss K is anything but content on that floor. Strap her into her carrying facing out so I can continue to mix the dough up. She's happy. My back hurts. Flip the bowl with the butter into the cookie dough. Luckily it was plastic. Clean up mess. Try laying Miss K back on the floor. She throws a fit. Back into mom's arms she goes. Finally done making cookie dough and start to bake. Forget cookies. Burn cookies. Save a few.

All while the hubby was off sheet rocking at my brother's house. End of story.

I once remember my friend telling me that she tried making cookies while she was home on maternity leave and it took her the majority of the day. I can now relate. Bars. I'm making bars from now on!

Moral of the story? These were dang good cookies, but don't try to do it with a cranky baby that just got shots!

P.S. I really do love my child to no end don't go getting all judgey on me :)
