Making cookies

My baby has developed a serious love of sweet things and she loves cookies. We've never made cookies when she has helped and so we decided that today was the day to do it. We made some oatmeal chocolate chip cookies with sprinkles. Bridget had so much fun mixing, throwing the dough on the cookie sheets and then peppering them with sprinkles that I couldn't resist capturing it! Some of these are blurry, but its hard to catch her standing still sometimes.

Carefully adding the water

Mixing the dough

Oh, better taste it to make sure its good


Time to bake? Let me help you put it on the cookie sheet mom (as she's throwing clumps of it on there!)


Next we add the sprinkles - Bridget made sure that each cookie was properly covered in rainbow sprinkles. She's very thorough.

The cookies are now ready for the oven!

Before and....

After!

I couldn't resist this picture! I urged Bridget to crawl across the counter to get the cookies, quite artistic I think!

Finally, the pay off, chowing down on the yummy cookies!


Have to wash the yumminess down with milk, right?
The smile of a satisfied girl, which makes the huge mess she made absolutely worth it!
