Those kids are so cute! I bet they enjoyed the cookies (both making and eating!). I love to include my kids when I am cooking! I want them to be able to cook when they leave home (they are 13, 10, 4 and 3, so I have some time on two and a lot of time on the other two)! I never learned how until I got married! Thanks for the recipe and have a wonderful weekend.
