Cookies with the girls
We’ve come a long way since the sprinkled cookie of 2009 and moved on to things like homemade chocolate chip cookies.
(And, let me tell you how killer it was not to eat the dough with all of the egg scares going on right now. The Serious girls love our cookie dough).
This weekend, I decided we had to do something in the hour or two before dinner or else we would go crazy! I knew we had all of the ingredients for my aunts super secret, perfectly delicious, only hand-mixed chocolate chip cookies. So we went for it.
They both wanted to make their own pans. And, when I realized how into it they were, I was definitely all for it.
She was only slightly confused and kept calling the chocolate chips "black beans." She’s super silly like that. The "cookies" she put on the pan…they left a little to the imagination.
Her cookies were impressive. They continued to get smaller, but when we mentioned it, she went back and fixed them all. We really have no idea where she gets her attention to detail *ahem*.

I am seriously drooling over that cookie dough…
I’m so mad at you for keeping the super secret!
Attention to detail is all mommy…..however, her touch of OCD is probably from Auntie Em. Sorry Blubs.
So fun! My girls love making cookies (and eating cookie dough) too!
I cannot get over how grown up they look in these pictures! Oh, my!
Those cookies look yummy! I just ordered copies of all the cookie cookbooks my mom had when we were kids. Oh, the memories!
Black beans! Ahh, so cute! Those cookies must have been soooo good! 🙂
pretty sure your aunt wouldn’t mind you sharing that recipe…
and the girls? super sweet as usual 🙂
Talk about cookies with character! How fun! The girls look soo happy! Baked with love!
Oh how cute!!! I love it! Black beans…attention to detail…so cute!
They are just adorable! I’m sure they were delicious, baked with love!
They are so cute! My kids LOVE to cook too!
Yum!!! The girls are too cute – they look so Serious 😉
Looks delicious – that’s a great way to get some quality time with your kids and a treat too. I know what you mean about it being hard not to eat the dough. Stupid eggs.
Seriously…salmonella can’t be that bad, right? Well, okay, maybe it is. Guess I’ll have to keep resisting.
So cute friend! Love that they are making cookies prior to dinner! Sounds like our house. Although, even this mama can’t resist the dough! YUMMY!!
And now I have a crazy craving for those cookies!
Okay, now I want to make cookies. Those pictures are adorable. Your girls are getting so big!!! 🙂
You are a better Mom than I am. I’m too OCD to let the baby/toddler help! Looks like you all had fun though!
My control freak in me went out the window when I saw how much she enjoyed it..and really, she did pretty good, too!
Definitely want that secret recipe of yours!!!!!! Can you share me that recipe? 🙂 The cookies look yummy I am craving for it now.:-) By the way, your girls are so cute and beautiful.:-)
Hmm…funny how so many people want it when it’s a secret..I’ll have to check with my source:)
And, thank you so much.
Oh how fun! My 3 yo is wanting to do her own things with cookies too. And yes, we are way into eating cookie dough too. I will have to google “Egg scares” since I have not heard about it. We haven’t made cookie dough in awhile and before we do I better get informed! Thanks!
Baking cookies with my girls is truly one of my fave things to do. Know what is scary. My 11 year old made a batch all by herself a couple of weeks ago. NOT good for my thighs. Not at all!
Not good for the thighs, but super sweet that she can do it by herself.
Cute pics! Baking cookies with the little ones is so much fun – and I probably would have used the egg scare to eat more cookie dough myself. You know, in order to protect the children and all that.
See..I need a thought adjustment..I never would have thought of that.
I love black bean cookies, mama! Who needs chocolate chips these days?!
*cough*
ME!
Oh, looks yummy!………..So fun to bake cookies……….
There’s nothing like kids learning to bake or cook they are SO into it! Great job
yum.. so where is the recipe 😉 Love the difference in personalities!
