10-on-10 December - Baking Cookies

Last weekend was supposed to be a soccer-filled weekend.  We were all geared up to spend two days on the field when we heard late Friday evening the rain had forced a complete cancellation.  We were left with the question of what to do with a full free weekend!?  This never happens.  We were excited, but then biggest kid of the family woke up not feeling great.  Ugh!

Mommy has a cookie exchange party to go to Monday, so we decided to get the baking going instead.  Fun!  First things first, get the baby settled with a nice solid chew...

Then it was time for some cookie baking!  Brooke was my super star helper.  She poured in the
sugar...

Helped Daddy eye the measuring of the vanilla to ensure perfect amounts...

Helped with the flour mixture...

And the butter...

Lots of butter in these cookies...

Then after the dough was ready she rolled the balls into the pecans for me...

They were quite lovely balls of pecan dough!

Here's the first batch, ready to bake...

Big buddy still busy...

And the final result after a little maple topping was added....yum!  We're set to do a big swap!

Thanks to these creative ladies for inviting me to join in the 10-on-10 project.  I just realized I have not posted at all since last month's 10-on-10!  I love capturing these everyday moments that I never would have otherwise.  Please follow along with the circle, and visit Kathleen Ries at her blog to check out her fun with outdoor ice skating!  

Thanks for stopping by!
