Mmmmm, the decadent scent

By Joy BaldozPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

Mixing bowls, measuring cups, ingredients for a treat

Cookie dough balls on baking sheets

Baking in 350-degree heat

Oh the aroma of homemade, wholesome goodness!

One whiff sparks a smile

Mmmmm, the decadent scent welcomes me home

Inviting me to stay a while

A cup of joe for mom and me

Is another little treat

And I’m feeling even cozier now

with fluffy pajama slippers on my feet

We sip

We chat

We laugh and smile

And then “Ding”

The oven beeps

Fresh-baked cookies is what

H-O-M-E means to me ….

Homemade

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Mindfully and oh so blissfully

Enjoyed
