Cookie baking

With the fun of Disney behind us and no holiday baking accomplished, we set out today as our day to bake some holiday Peanuts pals.  The cookie dough was ready and in an effort to avoid fighting, we divided it in half so that each boy had their own cookie sheet to make some delicious cookies.

Connor was up first.  He helped roll out the dough and negotiated the cookie cutters to make as many Charlie Brown pals as he could.   He is very tactical about his decisions but struggled with making decision on which Peanut character to pick and indulging in some cookie dough.

He was incredibly proud of his efforts to make his 9 cookies and watched attentively as they baked in the oven. 

While Connor's cookies cooled on the baking rack and he indulged in some of the cookie dough, Jackson was ready to go.  He was very patient waiting and showed some definite baking skills with the rolling pin.

And, sometimes, you just need your frog to assist with some cookie baking. 

After he was done with the rolling and cutting, he kept a watchful eye on his cookies. Much to Connor's dismay, Jackson's rolling skills garnered 13 cookies.
