It should come as no surprise to you that I've completely trained my 3-year-old to love Starbucks. It is our easiest bribery tool, and also works well for rewards. And snacks. And lunch.
Sometimes, she gets a hankering for Starbucks when it just isn't possible to go, like when our fun money is spent for the week or on a Sunday. So MacGyver and I play a little game called 'Homebucks'. We make a 'brown milk' and eat a treat.
This last Sunday, it was me who needed the Homebucks. I really wanted one of those giant oatmeal cookies from Starbucks. A little Pinterest-addiction later, and I found this recipe. Oh man, it was a dead ringer for Starbucks. I even made them giant-size. I used the berry medley from Trader Joe's, instead of the raisin/cranberry mix the recipe calls for.
They were so tasty. I'm only a tiny bit embarrassed to tell you that between MacGyver and I, we ate the entire batch on Sunday night. Calories don't count on Sundays.
