It started out with the simple plan to just make some sort of treat on St. Patrick's Day and ended up with a huge and after much cleaning some cookies.
The bottom broke out of my flour container and when we tried to salvage the flour by dumping into another container it all spilled.
Like the great mom I am I made the kids clean it up and went on trying to finish the cookies that were still cooking. They did a great and no sign of spilled flour was left.
When all the cookies were cooled we frosted them and they were delicious.
I know I've become a cookie fanatic lately but they are easy to make and all my kids can feel like they are helping. A lot of things I do I try to be able to include all my children which isn't always the case and I can't always do it so when I do I love it. Zoe loves to cut out cookies and decorate what ever I roll out for her. She spends about 10 minutes cutting out cookies that we save for her. Kirsten really does a great job of cutting from beginning to end and her cookies sometimes are too thin or too fat but we really cook hers. Toby is self sufficient in making cookies seems to not mind Collin sitting on the counter "helping" him by trying to cut some out on top of the already cut ones we've done. (sorry Tianne wasn't here this time she does great too)
Everyone loves frosting the cookies and putting on the sprinkles. And in the end they all get to eat some and give some away. I'm surprised that no one is sick in the end after eating a lot of dough and frosting.
