Do you remember the first giddy days of summer? When the temperature was hot but still endurable? When you did not have to get up early to go to school? When you got to stay up as late as you want, 10 pm even?
There is no comparable time when you are an adult. Except, maybe, vacations or retirement.
The June theme for Cookie Thursday is a Thing is Schools’ Out. These are the after school delights that you ate until you got sick of them.
The first make of the month is the fluffernutter.
In my memory, I never had these growing up. It is peanut butter and marshmallow fluff on white bread. It is about as basic as can be. In fact, the entire back took me less than 15 minutes.
I mean, I could have gone full Elvis and made banana, bacon, peanut butter sandwiches. But I will save that one for another month.
Time to remember how it was to be a kid. And try not to feel jealous of having no responsibilities, no job, no bills. It’s funny how much we want to be grown-ups until we are.
These delicious little makes should spark nostalgia. At least, I hope.
There will be a companion theme for September. And I can’t wait for that one!
