Making Cookies!

Today was the perfect day to bake cookies!  We had all the ingredients so we got busy mixing together our batter.  We decided on chocolate chip cookies since it's everyone's favorite.

Zoe and Julie were in the kitchen busy mixing when Mckenna came in and asked if she could help too...the girls readily accepted her help!

Mckenna watched the cookies closely while they were in the oven since she didn't want them to burn.

Honey was soon interested in what was going on due to the yummy smell that was taking over the house.

Zoe and Pepper also showed up to check on things.  The cookies smelled SO GOOD!

 Pretty soon all the pets in the house were sitting around the oven enjoying the smells that were coming away from it.  Those silly pets...don't they know that cookies are only for humans!?!?

Even the cat, Ginger was interested.  Julie tried to divert her attention by giving her some cuddles.

YAY!  The first batch of cookies were done and out of the oven! They turned out perfectly!

Mmmmm!

Can you sense the anticipation in the room?

Look at all those dishes!  It's always good to take care of cleaning up before enjoying your baked goods.  Besides, the cookies have to cool after all...

Mckenna got busy right away doing the dishes and cleaning up the kitchen.

Zoe and Julie had some homework to finish up so they went to their rooms to get that done before enjoying their hard efforts in the kitchen...those cookies!

Uh..oh!

Meanwhile in the dining room Honey, Pepper and Coconut were busy themselves!

"Oh no!"  "What do you think you are doing!" shouted Mckenna.  "Julie! Zoe!" "Come quick!"

"AHHHHHHHHH!"

Those naughty puppies!!  Luckily there were a few cookies left...enough for each girl to have one cookie.

They sure did taste good!  I guess that those pets knew what they were after!

Today Zoey and I actually made our own cookies as well...here is a picture of them.  They turned out pretty yummy too and thankfully our dog Leo DID NOT get any of our cookies!  :)

We used a gluten-free recipe but this is your basic chocolate chip cookie recipe if you want to have some adventure in the kitchen as well!  Always remember to ask help from an adult if using an oven or other kitchen appliances.
