C is for Cookie!


After Boo's big photo shoot yesterday, we all baked cookies. I had whipped up the dough in the morning before preschool (pretty good eh?) and it was chilled & ready to go so it was just roll & cut.

I totally forgot to put aprons on them before starting so it was messier than usual but no less fun. They were cookie cuttin' machines! Teena & I could barely keep up with getting dough rolled out and moving cut outs to the pans for baking. They were done the huge batch in no time! Now I see why child labour is popular in some places, when they have the right motivation, 4 year olds can be darn productive!!!!!!!

We ran out of time and they didn't get to do the decorating but they got to eat dough and had cookies for supper so they were pretty happy about that. Group baking is definitely the way to go though, so Teena, I need you guys to come back over when it's time to do shortbread! We can double the batch & you take half home and we all have fun & get stuff done at the same time. Deal?
