family baking

yesterday the kids and i made chocolate chip cookies. this was my first real attempt to let my children do everything (with some adult supervision-- mind you they are almost 4 and 23 months). lucky for me it went very well. nathan (almost 2) was content just standing on a chair next to his sister with a measuring spoon in hand and flour that spilled on the counter in front of him. we have a stand alone mixer in which mackie was able to scoop out the dry mixture into the bowl in just the right amount to make the cookie dough moist and gooey. perfect for scooping cookies on tray i say! then i poured the chocolate chips in a bowl and let each of them take turns scooping the chips in to the dough while i mixed it in. they had a blast!

they came out tasting pretty darn good! and thats all that matters right?

afterwards, the kids drew pictures of the cookies baking in the oven. i love it, can you tell mackie was ecstatic about the cookies! =)
