Cookie Time

I've been making a lot of cookies lately. (Must be a pregnancy thing.) A few weeks ago I had a craving for Chocolate Crackles, a cookie my mom made all the time when we were growing up, but I had never made as an adult. I didn't have the recipe, so instead of calling my mom (sorry, Mom), I looked on-line. There are hundreds of "Chocolate Crackle" recipes out there. I chose the one that looked the easiest and that I had all the ingredients on hand for. Turned out I made a fine call. We've had them twice since then. They are really good. If you want the recipe you can go here to my recipe blog. (Didn't know I had a recipe blog? Well, now you do.)

Part of the cookie making process is rolling the balls of chocolate in powdered sugar. Here are the girls helping out with that. You can use your imagination to visual how messy this process become. Powdered sugar everywhere. But the cookies were totally worth it.

And no...it wasn't warm day. My 3 year old just doesn't like putting clothes back on after her nap. And that 5 year old thinks it's summer all year long. I was probably wearing a two long sleeve shirts and a fleece sweatshirt. We're a bit different, these girls and I.
