Made some cookies, had some fun.
Posted in Cooking, Mom Life on 12/20/2007 08:35 am by toriMy cookie adventures didn’t end with macaroons. On Tuesday, Julia and I went over to Nana’s house to make gingerbread men (and trees and deformed looking puppies). The baking went surprisingly well, considering my failings with all things gingerbread. In fact, I have been known to fail at those gingerbread house kits with the premade pieces - miserably.
We made the dough, a lighter colored and lighter tasting gingerbread than I’m used to, following Paula Deen’s recipe from the Food Network seen here: Gingerbread Boys and Girls. We didn’t mod the recipe at all, except to sub light brown sugar, and while the flavor was ok, it really didn’t SING gingerbread to me.
Nevertheless, we had fun. Julia cut out her first cookies, as well as decorating them and eating them! She’s so not only 2.5…
She’s also doing well with potty training, although she will defiantly use the Pull-Up as a defecation or urination station if she decides to test boundaries. Ah, toddlerhood.
Here’s some pics of our escapade:
