My Experience With Open Adoption (she: Camille)

Hello! My name is Camille and I am the adoptive mother of five beautiful children who are all biologically related via their birth mother.

S’mores Cookies

I’ve seen this recipe a few different places across the web and decided I would finally give it a whirl.  I must say, I’m pretty glad I did!  I love that the cookie base has lots of graham cracker in it…giving a more authentic S’mores taste.  I also opted to use Symphony Bars rather than…
