Mmmm…Cookies
With both older kids gone last night, we found ourselves with a youngest who, while happy to have Mom and Dad’s undivided attention, was feeling disappointed that her friend couldn’t come visit and a little bored. It sounded like the perfect time to bake some chocolate chip cookies together.
I’m very much a control freak, but I fought back the urge and let Megan do most of the cookie-making on her own. Her favorite part was wielding the mixer.
She did desert me during the actual baking time since her favorite show was on TV.
I think I handled that part well enough though. There’s nothing like fresh chocolate chip cookies, warm from the oven.

They share their home with three dogs, two cats, a ball python, a bearded dragon, and seven birds.

You couldn’t just send them over to Cyprus could you lol!!!
I need to do some cookery with my two this week. They love it but its always bottom of the list. Will do my best to do some though this weekend.
Have a great weekend

Amen. Cooking together is one of my favorite activities. 🙂
The cookies look fabulous! Kudos to her, and to you for reigning in the urge to control the process. 😀
yum, I love chocolate chip cookies too! My daughters and I make them all the time together. They are 6 and 3, so sometimes it gets interesting. Just like yours, mine also leave at the baking time… lol. Thanks for sharing. Jenni
It’s nice to get that one-on-one time with each child. Sometimes my life gets so busy, I forget to do this.
And with chocolate chips cookies…yum!
Yummy… my girls have so much fun helping in the kitchen. 😉
oh yum! I love warm cookies and a bowl of vanilla ice cream!
And I just love those jammies she has one! I wonder where she got them…….. 🙂
Baking cookies is one of our favorite activities around here!
