Cookie Day 2012

Nana and I have decided that we are going to carry on the Cookie Day tradition.  Everyone has gotten super busy, but this is something that we really would like to do.  We planned the day and invited all of the grandchildren to come over whenever they could.

Bianca was he greatest helper today.  I gave her a lot of tasks and she loved being in charge of measuring things and reading the recipes.  Emmy was the perfect snowball cookie powderer and will have that job for the rest of her life! Everyone had a chance to put ingredients into the bowls and some stayed around longer than others, but in the end, it was Bianca, Nana, and me making most of the cookies.

This year, we made:

1. Cranberry Breakfast Cookies (premade dough purchased through Gracie and Lukie's fundraiser)
2. Shortbread Sprinkle Cookies (also from G and L's fundraiser)
3. Snowball Cookies 
4. Mint Chocolate M&Ms cookies (the dough from Nestle's chocolate chip cookies with mint chocolate M&Ms instead of chocolate chips)
5. Chocolate Crack (toffee, peppermint, plain)

We also have sugar cookie dough in the refrigerator for Nana's Christmas Eve Eve Party. We plan to decorate cookies with the kiddos.  Should be fun!
