~Baking Cookies~

The other day Ethan and I were hanging out at home and I said to him “Do you want a cookie?”  It was no shock that he said “Yes, cookie please”  So then I told him he would have to help Mommy make them, he was all for it!  YAY!  Our first cookie baking adventure together!  We headed to the kitchen and while I gathered up the stuff to make yummy chocolate chip cookies he got his stool. 

It was our first time making cookies together so I thought I would get some pictures!  He was so cute and knew what to do, amazing how much they soak up from watching! 

He was good at adding all the ingredients and then making sure that all the dry ingredients were mixed well…

Then he helped make sure that they were on the pan….just so!

We put them in the HOT oven and waited so patiently for them…

They took so long!!!!  When they finally came out, they were ‘HOT’, “Blow Mommy” is what he told me! I told him to blow, here he is trying to cool them off!

Then we finally got to eat them!  MMMmmmm!  So soft and chewy on the inside with warm melted chocolate!!!  We each had 3 with some milk!  Cookie eating is serious business as you can see…no smiles here!

We used the recipe from the cookbook ‘Sugar’ by Anna Olson that I got for Randy for our anniversary.  They are a perfect chocolate chip cookie that stays soft and chewy for days!  If I had more time I would type it out but if you want the recipe just drop me an email and I’ll send it off to you!  I’m looking forward to more fun days like this one with Ethan over the years making yummy treats together and teaching him great life skills!  He’ll be able to impress the good girls if he can bake!!!
