My Mom and I decided to test out our new found cookie decorating skills and whip up some Christmas cookies with Elena. She loves making cookies and was ready to go as soon as my Mom arrived! 
E has a slight problem with eating cookie dough. A little here and there, no biggie. (Mom and Grandma have the same problem!) But when she is sticking chunks the size of cookies in her mouth repeatedly, I had to find a way to stop her. :) She likes to play along if you can't tell.
After the cookies cooled, it was time for the decorating. Mom and I felt pretty professional with all our supplies out. Ha ha!
Elena took right to it and thought it was great!
Of course each cookie had to have sprinkles!
It was a fun afternoon with my two favorite girls! I also have to mention that I made homemade hot chocolate in a crock pot! Wow -- I don't know if I can ever do the other kind again!! This was fantastic. Here is the recipe and the original blog where I found it!
All you need is:
- 1.5 c heavy cream
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14oz)
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips
- 6 cups milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
That's it! Mix together in a crock pot. Cover and cook on low for 2 hours, coming back to whisk occasionally.
So delicious and so easy! The 3 of us could not get enough! :)
