Making Cookies with Mom

June 23, 2012 · Diane Skarin

Tonight we are heading to Westerly to go to a summer pops concert and watch some fireworks with Auntie Karin, Uncle Dan, Danny & Sean.  We are going to bring a picnic dinner to enjoy during the concert before the fireworks begin.  As part of that picnic, we are bringing sugar cookies.  I have had some leftover frosting in the fridge that needs to be used up and what better way to use it than on some sugar cookies!  Evan helped me mix up the cookies (he even used the electric mixer by himself) and also decorate them.  It took a bit longer and we made a bit of a bigger mess but we had lots of fun doing it together!

(The next day, Evan helped Gramma make a jello cake.  He also helped me make cupcakes for the fourth of July.  He will be quite an experienced baker by the time we are ready to make dozens and dozens of Christmas cookies!)
