Because I LOVE cookies! And I plan to make a lot of them with my girl. She loves it! She stays interested longer than I do.
First we made peppermint bark.
YUMMERS! and super easy. Get a bag of mint and chocolate chips, preheat oven to 325, put them in for 2 mins, swirl with a toothpick, sprinkle crushed almonds on top, and stick in the fridge for an hour. Simple as that!
Tonight we did sugar cookies. Ella was so excited to do the shapes. I only did about a quarter of the dough, I got tired of doing them. ha ha. Ask my mom, she knows. Her and my gram always get stuck doing them after my brother and sister and I get tired of it. ha.
This was Ella's first year of decorating cookies. She was two month old
This was her second year
p.s. this was taken with the same camera that I have now. I have definately improved. ;)
3rd year, my girl is so big!
She was really getting into it
We put the sprinkles on....and then she ate them
:)
What a great tradition! Those yearly pics are just precious!
ReplyDeletePeppermint Bark - YUM!! I went right out and picked up some mint & dark choc kisses - melted them in the oven and added chopped almonds, holy yum!! :) Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI love all the pictures - what fun, baking with your little one. In my opinion, it's something totally worth a few extra pounds ;) haha
