Cookie Wonderland

Today's advent activity was baking cookies! And not to spoil the surprise, but that's tomorrow's activity as well. I finally got smart this year and spread the cookie baking over two afternoons instead of frantically trying to churn out two different recipes, make dinner, and get the kids ready for bed...all in one night. Today's cookie, Cranberry White Chocolate Macadamia Nut, is courtesy of one of my favorite blogs Elements of Style. You can find the entire recipe here. Not only are these delicious, but they are so easy even a four-year-old can make them (with just the slightest assistance from mom!) Here is mine mastering the art of the electric mixer! Go girl!

The two of us finished in no time and as a reward for all her hard work, not only did she get to eat some cookie dough, she got to eat an entire cookie before dinner. After all, the chef has to sample the finished product, right? And where, you might ask, was my son during the baking fun? Does this answer your question? Not only does he play football in the living room with his helmet on, he watches football or whatever sporting event happens to be on, with his helmet on!
