Sour Patch Kid Cookies Are a Real Thing!

Listen, you guys, you think I’m crazy right now, I know. But you gotta trust me on this!

Here’s how Sour Patch Kid cookies happened: We bought a giant bag of Sour Patch Kids for a trip to our family cabin in the mountains. (The rule at the cabin is no electronics and ALL the junk food.) On the back of the bag there was a recipe for Sour Patch Kid Cookies. Owen said I should make them. I thought he was crazy, but he was persistent, so I gave in.

By then time I made them the recipe had been thrown away so I went online to find a recipe. This one comes from Inspired By Charm, and it is perfect! The cookies are light and soft and believe it or not, the Sour Patch Kids give them the perfect twist!

Trust me on this one!
