Cookie, Cookie, Cookie starts with C

Last week we had an evening where we were all home and had nowhere to go. We decided cookie dough sounded really yummy and if there was leftover, we could make some cookies. Eden had a new cute apron Grammy made for her and I had a new cute apron Grammy made to match Eden's and Andy had a fairly new apron Grammy made for him to BBQ in so we donned our aprons and broke out the mixer (and the camera).

Eden loves to stand on a stool and help me do things in the kitchen. This is usually not helpful to me, but she loves it. She helped me scoop out all the dry ingredients and insisted on licking her finger to taste them all (it turns out she's not a fan of baking soda). She wanted her turn to crack an egg into the bowl (or as she says, "Bang it on the table and squish it in the bowl- which is exactly what she did). Then Andy and I picked egg shell out of the batter.

After that she got bored and decided to do her second favorite thing in the kitchen- wipe things off. She wiped off the counters and the floor and the table and me and the cat...

Once we were ready to pour the chocolate chips in, she was interested again. It was time to snitch cookie dough! She pulls it right off the mixer. You may notice the two packages of cookies in the background of this picture. Those cookies aren't homemade. It's totally different.

The dough turned out great. Oh, the cookies did too. Even with all our dough tasting we ended up with about 50 cookies. And sadly, they're about all gone. Good things never last...
