Cookie Monsters!

For Family Night last night, we decided to make cookies. I got a great deal a few weeks ago on some premade cookie dough, so I went the easy route and used that. The kids have watched Nana make cookies a bunch of times and wanted to put the dough on the pans themselves. Zachary decided he wanted chocolate chip dough and Hailey chose peanut butter dough. I did one row for them and then gave them each some in a bowl and let them go to town.















They were having so much fun and I was impressed at how well they did. Hailey got a bit more help, but still did great.
















At times it was hard to decide whether they were having more fun eating the dough or putting it on the pans!















Once we got the pans done, we put one them in the oven. Did you know that if you have 2 children staring at baking cookies that they somehow cook faster? I didn't know that, but Zach was just sure that if they stared at the cookies, they would hurry up and cook.
















And you can't help but have a warm cookie out of the oven - YUMMY!















We had so much fun and we all got to enjoy some yummy cookies! My two little cookie monsters made it so much fun!

Oh that looks so good! Such a good mom to take the time and have patience to do all that! Probably helped that the dough was all ready for them! What a fun idea for family night, I am going to have to try that one out sometime soon! What cute helpers you've got!
