This morning I told my 6 year old that he was going to get a haircut after school.I have been saying this for the past week and a half.But weirdly, as of late, he has been balking at the idea of getting a trim. I didn’t understand why until now.When I told him sternly that today was the day, he got upset. Like, for real upset. Of course I asked him why he was getting misty over a a few hairs being cut…to which he replied “I want to grow an afro. Please don’t make me cut my hair.” That really happened.This morning. So I told him that he couldn’t grow an afro because his hair is too straight, it would grow down, not out.He wasn’t convinced.I then told him that I would have to give him a perm and he would have to wear curlers in his hair.He wasn’t thrilled with this, but sensed it was a means to an end…And still persisted. I should have known something was up with him last week when he wrote a sentence with his spelling words that looked like this…Read #3I guess he has been planning this for a while. So yeah. None of that has anything to do with food, it’s just an example of a day in my life. Ok, less afro-talk, more cookie-talk. Salted Caramel Kiss Cookies. More specifically, Browned Butter-Salted Caramel Cookies. Let that marinate.These cookies are ridiculous. So simple, so good…possibly my new favorite.First make your butter brown.After it cools a bit, pour your butter into some brown sugar and beat it. Just beat it.Mix in the other usual suspects and you’ve got dough!Roll your cookies into a delicious brown sugar/granulated sugar mix and bake!While the cookies are in the oven unwrap your caramel candies. I used some Caramel Hershey Kisses…but you could use Dove or Rolo…As soon as they come out of the oven press a yummy Caramel Kiss on top.Then do it right and sprinkle a little sea salt on top. Flaked, if your nasty.Seriously gorg.You need one of these in your life.
