Spring Lake Workout

My 4 yr old finished preschool last week, so after we got my son on the bus, she and I went for a bike/run around our neighborhood lake.  She rode her bike and I ran behind her.  Here was my view:

Felt like I should exercise a little, since the day before she and I whipped up these cookies -- they are so delicious!  I have eaten waaaayyy too many. 
 

Chocolate Pudding Cookies

• 3/4 C. brown sugar
• 1/4 C. white sugar
• 1 3.4-oz. package instant vanilla pudding

In mixing bowl, cream together sugars, butter, vanilla extract, and vanilla pudding mix. Beat until creamy. Add eggs. Add dry ingredients and stir until well-combined. Fold in chocolate chips. Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes.

They were so worth it - ENJOY!!
