let's make some cookies!

i decided that julia's old enough to start learning the fine art of cooking/baking. we started off making my yummy chocolate chip cookies. she LOVED helping (and loved licking the mixing spoon).

these are the first cookies she's ever made. i let her basically do it all by herself. she got to measure, pour, and even put in the eggs (i was quite nervous about having some eggshells in there--but she cracked them perfectly and without incident). and the end results? well, her cookies turned out even better than mine do--and i kinda pride myself on my own cookies. hers were so soft and delicious! i gotta take a leaf outta her book next time! she was so excited about making them and wanted to share them, so we ziplocked them up and brought them to texas with us and let nana and joycelyn (and all the other relatives) taste them. yummy!
