Making Cookies



I LOVE making cookies with my kids almost as much as they love it. They love it because I am a softy and I let them pinch at the dough as much as they want. I love it because it makes them so happy, and hey, I like the dough too. I blame my mom for this one, she used to give me my meds wrapped in cookie dough as a baby (which is something she absolutely had to do, I had to take those). It's just funny to see how that has affected the next generation.



And they both love their beaters! BTW: Please excuse the mess of canned syrup on my counter behind my kids. Yet another reason I am anxious for my basement to get done so that I can put all this stuff away and have my garage and kitchen and closets back.



I'm trying to decide if I should be concerned about Lucy's eyes in this picture. The cookies of choice for this night of fun were so delicious, and way easy. If you are looking for a little variety, give these a try.

Wow look at you, all domestic. Canning, cooking, raising kids, sanding drywall...is there anything you can't do?! Seriously, you make me feel like a slacker with my one kid and my messy house. Thanks for the motivation :)
