Hot Pink Cookies

Olivia asked me this morning if we could make something. I asked her what she wanted to make and she said green pancakes. Hmmm....well it was 11:00, almost lunch time so I said sure we can make green pancakes and eggs for lunch today. "Nooooo I don't want to eat them, I want to make them!" I said, Well we can't make them if we aren't going to eat them! Then they will go to waste, how about we make something else? "Ok Mama, what should we make?" I suggested cookies and of course she was all for that!

Let me just start by telling you that I am not a good baker, nor do I enjoy baking, especially cookies, because you have to stand around the kitchen all morning and put them in and out of the oven. I like baking like bread or cake...just one round in the oven! Anyways, Olivia and Bellie took turns putting in the different ingredients and stiring the bowl. They were actually quite good at it, and didn't even fight about who's turn it was! When we were almost done mixing, I got out the food coloring and let Olivia choose what color she wanted our cookies to be. She of course chose PINK! And let me tell you they came out a hot pink!

After I put them in the oven I turned on the light so they could watch them bake. After like 30 seconds Olivia says, "Ok Mom they are done!" I told her that they weren't done yet, they will take about 10 minutes and she has to be patient. She then says, " No, I don't want to be patient, ugggghhhh, nevermind then, and walked out of the kitchen to her play room. It seems someone else doesn't like waiting for cookies to bake either!!!!!!


These were the second batch that came out not burnt! Below is a picture of the first batch that were all burnt on the bottom...I think my oven was too hot, so I turned it down. I threw these out because they were nasty!!!!!!

Now Olivia keeps asking me for a cookie every 5 minutes instead of every 15 minutes like normal, hahaha! She sure does love her cookies!
