Bakin' Cookies

So, when your tiny child points to your stand mixer and says "make!" what other choice do you have but to make cookies! We hadn't done any sugar cookies yet this year, so it seemed like a good time to bust out the cookie cutters. 

For my entire life, our go-to sugar cookie recipe has been from the Betty Crocker Cookbook. My mom has had her copy since before she got married, and let me tell you...this is one well loved cook book!

Abbey helped me with all the mixing...

Butter, sugar, eggs...

Ta-da!!

Now time for some flour...

We got a little messy. This stressed her out...she's not a fan of messy.


and of course, what's better than a little bit of dough eating?


...pause for naptime/cookie dough chillage...

Abbey also made an excellent cookie decorator (of course she did!)




This is the stuff that makes Christmas wonderful. In the midst of all the craziness, and shopping, and planning, and prepping, things like this are what keep me sane. Did the laundry get done this day? Nope. But I made cookies with my little girl.

Oh, and note to self...
Before giving the tiny child a shaker full of sprinkles, give it a test run first...
ooops!

Now, go grab your kids and bake some cookies! 
Merry Christmas!
