Baking Cookies

My boys love to help me out in the kitchen. Usually I have three boys zooming around me while I cook so I put them to work stirring and gathering ingredients, but on this particular day I decided to let them get a taste of what they are always begging me to do. Our sweet neighbors dropped off a box of cookie mix over the Christmas holidays that the boys were more than excited about baking up. The boys got even MORE hyper when they realized I was letting them make it all by themselves. They pulled on their aprons washed their hands and started getting out the ingredients.

I really enjoyed watching the boys roll up the dough and then mash it onto the cookie sheet after I tried to explain the "right" way to roll out cookies.

Delicious cookie cake that the boys happily decided that they would not share with their daddy. After their daddy realized just how well they made it he was all to happy to let them eat it themselves (Lets just say that after they washed their hands the first time they proceeded to lick, pick and snack on whatever piece of dough and cookie they could get their hands on.)

Don't they look like they need to be the poster boys for cookie mix?

And it took only 3 hours for them to eat through that plate
