Cookies!


About a year ago I decided to make some cookies. I decided to make some cookies today too, but I took pictures of it a year ago. The same things usually happen, Kenadi helps me dump ingredients in the bowl, sticks her fingers in the butter and licks them, in the sugar and licks them, helps me turn on the mixer, and licks the bowl... all the wile sneaking more dough and more dough. But this time was a little less sanitary...

Kenadi takes after me and has a huge sweet tooth. We were putting Hershey kisses in the middle and she said, "I want to eat one!" I let her eat one, and then I told her to wait until the cookies came out of the oven and she could have one in her cookie. Well, she was unwrapping them and doing really well with minding me by not eating them, and I was putting the kiss in the cookie. I picked up a couple of kisses and realized that they were a bit wet feeling, but I didn't notice enough to really think about it, so I put them in the cookies and kept doing it. Well, a bunch of cookies later, I looked at her while she was unwraping them and she would unwrap it, stick it in her mouth, swirl it around a little, take it out, and put in in my pile of kisses to go in the cookies! I give her credit for not eating them... funny, huh? I decided that Oh well, we are the only ones who will eat them, and they'll cook anyways.
I KNOW that I put myself at risk of people not trusting the food I give them anymore, but I am usually much more observant when we make cookies and I DO try to keep her fingers out of the bowl. It normally isn't this bad, I promise!!

EeeeeeeeWWWW!!!!

Sorry I haven't called you back yet. I don't actually know how I got my blog to do that. It just did it without me even trying, but I could probably figure it out.


Love ya!

My grandma's philosophy was always, "the more fingers in the bowl, the better it tastes." I have tried not to be so OCD with my kids so they can enjoy cooking with me as much as I enjoyed cooking with my grandma.

I agree with Angie, that's what makes making cookies with your kids so memorable. We already have enough rules in the real world!
