I have learned a lot about following instructions from my time in baking. This cookie recipe has been a healthy and yummy family treat for a while, but sometimes the recipe does not turn out the way I wanted it to. Those are the moments that I am taught patience, wisdom, and the importance of following directions! And when it turns out yummy and delicious, I am reminded that when I listen to instruction, the results are sweet!
