Perfect for the summer season & made with fresh zucchini from our garden! They are waiting (along with a glass of milk) for my sweetheart. The smell of chocolate chip cookies reminds me of the children’s book “The Doorbell Rang”, by Pat Hutchins. If you haven’t read it, check it out of the library on a rainy day & read it to your kids (while cookies are baking in the oven, of course).
