Christmas Cookie Monster

Ready to Bake

Mmmm...making cookies is GREAT!

I think I should eat a little more!

Oh, this is how it's done.

So proud of her snowflake cookie

Just a little bit frustrated...the dough wasn't cooperating.

Let me try

Is there anymore cookie dough?

Yummy!

The top left tree is the cookie Noah did by himself.

As you can see the sprinkles container hit the tree a couple of times.

Zoe has been begging me to make sugar cookies for at least a month. I kept putting it off and saying we would do it while I was on vacation. Apparently I'm in denial that I have to go back to work TOMORROW, because I just got around to making cookies with the kids yesterday. How can it be that winter break is already over!!

Now, Zoe knows the process of making roll out cookies. We've done it many times in the past few years. Noah on the other hand, took making sugar cookies to a whole new level.

I sat each of them down at opposite ends of the table. I floured the surface in front of each of them and gave them each a small ball of dough and a rolling pin. I guess I failed to mention the actual process of making sugar cookies. So, in Noah's mind, making cookies meant we were eating cookies right then and there. I turned for one moment to help Zoe get started, and he had consumed about half of the raw cookie dough. (Not to worry folks no eggs were in the dough) He finally got the gist, but I honestly think he ate at least 3 cookies worth in dough.

In the end it was one of the more entertaining cookie making moments...never a dull moment with the Macknicki kiddos.
