Baking cookies!

All summer long I had promised MaKena we'd bake chocolate chip cookies.  So on Saturday, July 21st, that's what we did.  MaKena was so excited!  She helped me pour the ingredients in the bowl and mix them all together.  When it came time to making the balls and putting them in the oven I had to do that part.  If I would have let MaKena be in charge of making the balls we would have probably only had a dozen cookies!!  In between each batch that went in the oven MaKena and I had a little bite of the dough.  I know, I know, your not suppose to eat the cookie dough but we used to do it as kids.  That's the best part.  I remember walking to Grandma Ivy's after school and if she made chocolate chip cookies that day she would save a small ball of cookie dough in the fridge for us to eat when we got to her house.  If grandma thought it was OK then it must be OK!!  I do have to say that my cookies didn't turn out nearly as good as grandmas!!  But we sure had fun making them!  

 

 

MaKena watching me very close!  I'm pretty sure we were about 15 question into the 100 questions she asked that day while baking!!  So interested about everything at this age.

The worst part is done, now we just need to bake them!
