I asked for ways to say "I love you" to kids for whom verbal expressions of affection are uncomfortable or incomprehensible, and reader hope.rnch recently submitted these, under the title "Cookie baking":
"I always relayed love to our kids by cooking three meals a day just as many loving moms do. I also find cookie dough irresistible, but know not to give raw eggs to babies, so I worked out a yummy recipe over twenty years (imitating the mall's chocolate chip cookies made with molassas). We make them very often together and always remember the last ingredient (LOVE). Baking cookies in the kitchen with momma is the tastiest way to say I love you."

We make all our cookies without eggs. We use either butter or smart balance margarine, brown sugar (more nutritious and easier than adding molasses to white sugar and exactly the same thing) vanilla and self rising flower. Easy and very tasty.
