Today is the last day of school before the Christmas break. The kids and I bought their teachers gift cards (they are overworked and underpaid and make a huge difference in the lives of my children) and decided to make some cookies to go with along with the gifts.
Last night we made two batches of cookies. Chocolate Candy Cane cookies is a recipe I snagged from pioneerwoman.com, a favorite blog.
I can't make cookies with out my assistant, Carley.
And a baking assistant can't be a real assistant without a little powdered sugar on the forehead.
"This is the yucky chocolate." She tasted it once. It didn't go over well.
A quick pose.
The chocolate dough for the candy cane cookies has to chill for two hours so we hunt for another cookie recipe in Carley's favorite book.
The chocolate dough is chilled. The kids roll balls and smash them flat, just like play-dough.
After dinner and pajamas, the chocolate cookies are cooled from baking and it's time to dip in white chocolate. The best part.
And sprinkle with crushed candy canes.
Want a cookie? They're delicious.
