the Cookie Monster

We've had a few cooler, windy days this week and as I think I've mentioned before, I really don't like wind.  Not a little, not a bit, not at all.  I would much rather go out on a really cold day than a moderately cool day with wind. Time for a little indoor fun.  So it was time to break out my beloved RED kitchen aide mixer (I LOVE my mixer) and bake some cookies.

Unfortunately cookie baking involves some waiting.  Long, anxious moments waiting for the dough to be ready for tasting.

And then there is the welcome challenge of operating the cookie dough scooper (small motor skills, anyone?)

And finally, the tasting of the dough.  Yum!  

 And more waiting.... for the cookies to bake.  And a bit of sadness when Mama says you've had enough dough, you'll have to wait for the finished cookies.

But then, all is pure joy when finally they are ready to eat!

And the verdict?,.....

The face says it all!

Wishing you a SWEET weekend!
