Flour flying .... eggs cracking .... giggles and laughter all around. Yesterday I had my first baking experience with the girls. It was an experience I won't soon forget. We made the dough from scratch. Each of the girls took turns dumping stuff into the bowl and stirring the ingredients together. The flour mixture was quite an experience. I think more flour ended up on the girls and the counter than in the bowl. Then the egg cracking .... let me tell you ... Alexis can crack one mean egg with one hand and not get the shells into the bowl ... she has learned well from her mommy. Next comes the rolling of the dough and the cutting of the cookies. What is it with young cookie makers when they think after the dough is rolled out they have to aim for the center of the circle with the cookie cutter? I just don't get it. Well, after all was said and done we ended up with two plates full of cookies - some resemble snowflakes and some resemble candy canes. We didn't tackle frosting and sprinkles this year .... we will venture into that experience next year!!
