Making Sugar Cookies

The kids have become great helpers in the kitchen. They love being involved with whatever we are making. They like seeing every part of the process from the gathering and combining of ingredients to the cooking and the final product.

Amy decided to make some sugar cookies with the twins. Here is the assembled dough.
Amy's little helpers stood on chairs so they could watch Amy roll out the dough.Caroline wanted to try rolling out the dough.Now that the dough was flat, it was time to cut some cookies. Caroline did the first cookie.
There was plenty of cookie for both to cut cookies at the same time.
The kids did a great job cutting cookies and Amy transferred them to a baking pan.
Caden watched the cookies bake for several minutes.
Here are the fresh cookies.
Caroline thought it was awesome that she got to eat the cookies she made.
And she thought they were delicious!Caden enjoys getting cookies but he doesn't care to eat them. He holds it for a few minutes, licks it once or twice, and then wants to put it in my mouth so I can eat it. Yum...dirty, wet, plain sugar cookies. Ah, the joys of parenthood.
