This morning the girls and I baked cookies to take to the Christmas party at pre-school tomorrow. Since I was using this as a homeschooling opportunity, we read through part of an Old-Fashioned Cookies cookbook and decided on two recipies that had "unusual" ingredients. First we made a batch of Ginger Snaps and then we made Butterscotch Sugar Drops with Dried Cranberries. A flurry of sifting, mixing, whisking, stirring, pouring, smelling and licking was followed by (im)patient waiting for the cookies to come out of the oven. Finally, we all got to taste our creations which were pronounced yummy and delicious!
Ellie's turn to use the mixer while Maddie and Annie carefully study her technique..jpg)
Hmmm . . . what does molasses smell like?.JPG)

Yup, we are already teaching Annie to sample the cookie dough
Annie was supposedly smelling the fresh out of the oven Ginger Snaps -- but I have a feeling she was sneaking a nibble!
