It's hard to put into words the range of emotions and feelings that overwhelmed me when I watched him pull away for the first time. It was through anxious tears and nervous smiles that I managed to snap a few pictures of his first independent voyage. Needless to say, it was a hard day for me. Watching my kids grow and achieve these milestones makes me so so proud but that doesn't make it any easier to let them grow up. As they become more independent, I realize that it's becoming increasingly harder for me to protect them. I have to put my trust in the knowledge that the creator of the universe is watching over my kids - especially my sixteen year old driver. By Monday morning, I was emotionally exhausted from the weekends driving events so I made a batch of Chocolate Crackles to help ease the anxiety. Chocolate always makes me happy. Chocolate Crackles 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate 1 ½ cups brown sugar ½ cup butter ½ cup cocoa 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 eggs 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/3 cup whole milk ¼ teaspoon salt 1 ¼ cups flour 1 cup sugar 1 cup powdered sugar
Space 2 inches apart on cookie sheet and bake 14 minutes at 350.
