It's Cookie Season!

This weekend I decided to make Christmas cookies. I'm not really baker, so I only do lots of cookies this time of year.


Ella decided she wanted to be the big helper today.
Colt's first time helping with cookies. I'm not sure if he stirred more than he ate : )

These are my mom's famous cut out cookies. If you've ever had them, you know how delicious they are! I finally got them right after 11 years! They would usually come out really thin and really dry, but this year they cam out perfect! I'm so excited! I just wish the peanut butter blossoms came out as good.


These are all the cookies we made today. Santa better bring his appetite! The peanut butter blossoms came out way too dry and thin. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but they definitely are not like my mom's! I'll have to ask her what secret she has : )



Colt spent all evening trying to eat the cookies. He especially liked the blossoms. He'd eat the chocoloate middle then throw the rest to the dogs. This went on for a good 10 minutes before I caught him. He's definitely the little trouble maker!

For some reason, Colt takes his pants down when he's mad at me - I guess he thinks I'm somehow affected by it - so this was his reaction to me telling him no more "kiecoos" (his way of saying cookies)
