I love having my kids help in the kitchen so any time they ask if they can make something or help me, I do everything I can to make it happen. Brooklyn wanted to make cookies this weekend so we pulled the margarine squares out Friday night to soften and when she woke up Saturday {AFTERNOON!! 115pm…haha}, it was the first thing she did.
I grabbed the bag of chocolate chips and figured she would just follow the recipe on the back, but I had no idea she had found a recipe herself and had it saved on her ipod – {Extraordinary Chocolate Chip Cookies from Life Made Delicious}. I gave her some tips {getting out all the ingredients first, mixing the margarine fully with each ingredient before adding the next, etc.} and then I left her to it, wanting to see how she’d do.
My heart melted seeing her buzzing around the kitchen, doing her thing…AND wearing the dish towel over her shoulder just like I do.
The dough looked {and tasted} delicious, but we all know that can sometimes be deceiving.
Though not in the case because Brooklyn totally rocked it and the resulting cookies look better than any I’ve ever made. #truestory
She’s hired.
