Three little bakers

After more than a week away, Abby was missing her best buds pretty badly. So we invited everyone over for a cookie making play date. Abby Mae made quick work of eating as much dough as possible while Abby Jean tried to build towers in the dough with the cookie cutters. Three-year-old Maddie tried to maintain some sense of order by repeatedly flattening the dough the younger girls messed up and showing them how to press one shape at a time into the dough to make a cookie. It was a valiant effort, but in the end, fun and deliciousness won out and the girls gave up making cookies and instead treated my would-be cookies like playdough, rolling it into balls and then devouring them one by one.

We did manage to bake about ten cookies, though none of them were shaped like any of my holiday cookie cutters. Maybe next year.
