Making Cookies

Isn't he adorable. I can't wait until he is embarrassed by me saying those types of things. Spencer wanted to make train cookies. Do you have a recipe for train cookies? Let me know if you need mine. I have one for Train cookies, Train Biscuits, Train Sandwiches; just about everything can be maid by putting a train in front of it and it will taste amazingly better than the other version.
This time we just made Sugar Cookie Train Cookies. I mostly just want the frosting while Spencer eats them without frosting because that covers up the parts that make it look like trains.
Besides the frosting my favorite part of making train cookies is making them with Spencer. He is a very able cook for four years old. I can, and have just stepped way back and given instructions to him to let him do it on his own. He just needs to know how much of what. He can even crack an egg all by himself. I know what you are thinking ~She is crazy!~ Please, like I have never heard that one before.
I love watching him grow up and gain so many talents and skills. I am very proud of all that he is mastering and love give him those opportunities to grow.
I also love watching him taste cooking. He is so funny! He loves to taste whatever it is we might be making: cookies, bread, biscuits. I get a real kick out of the fact that he will willingly taste the shortening but I can't get the kid to taste dinner without the fear and threat of seeing it again.
What a funny kid!
