Laura, I am just catching up on my favorite blogs during crazy time of the year. I hope your mom is recuperating well. This must have been scary for all. I have a friend going through exactly the same thing. She just had the surgery and is slowly getting better. Your love for your mother and life's reflections and memories are touching. We can only hope we have given our own children such strength through our normal everyday lives....page by page.

Happiest of Holidays for you and your family.

I've never heard of waffle cookies before. I've only ever used my waffle iron for waffles. These look very yummy! I like the first photograph too. Nice lighting.

Btw, missed you at the holiday party on Friday!

What a great post, Laura. I'm glad to hear that your mom is done with the surgery and recovering. You're amazing to have reacted to the dream the way you did and to be so strong still. As for the cookies, I've been waiting ever since you put up the photo and I'm even more excited about them now. The clean lines of the top photo do appeal to a side of me, but I agree the bottom one is more inviting.

Best wishes to you and your mom for a super speedy recovery. Really loved how you described both shots, great to gain some understanding of the photographer's thought processes. Wishing I had a waffle iron right now, the cookies look wonderful with all those ridges.

Cookies in a waffle iron? I've never heard of that before, and they look very tasty! Now I'll need to get a waffle iron.

Happy to hear your Moms surgery went well. Now the canned frosting is only in an emergency like if there is not any chocolate in the house and not a cookie or piece of cake. Then I take out my mini spoon and take some and hide the can at the back of the fridge:) It takes the edge off of my craving and keeps me from getting violent:) Now those waffle cookies are unique.
Happy Holidays.

Your post was lovely. I enjoyed taking a sentimental journey through your childhood food nostaligia. I can relate to thumbing through cookbooks, I did too. In fact, I really developed a fondness for the recipe cards that became popular in the 70's.

I am so glad to hear that your mom is doing good. I think you should both make a batch of these wonderful waffle cookies together, when she is feeling better.

Happy holidays to you and your family.
