Kids in the Kitchen: Making Cookies

Apparently I am the go-to for providing a birthday treats for my husband’s co-workers and since one of them was celebrating a birthday this week I needed to throw something together.  I needed something quick because this week has been nothing but busy.

When I asked Colin if he wanted to make Deep Dish Chocolate Chip Cookies with me, I was not surprised this his answer was YES!

I measured out the ingredients and put them in a bowl so he could dump them into the mixing bowl.

I cracked the eggs and dropped them in, but I let Colin put the mixing head back down and turn it on.

I turned on the oven and then it was time to add in the chocolate chips.  I let Colin pour them in, but I warned him not to pour TOO many in.  He was overly cautious and I had to add a few more!

At this point Colin was done helping.  I did give him a few chocolate chips for being such a great helper!

I had a little leftover dough, so I scooped it onto wax paper, put it in a Tupperware container and threw it in the freezer!  (Doing this is awesome for those days you want a cookie, but don’t want to dirty many dishes.)

What’s your favorite cookie??
