Cookies for Grandpa

Madelyn is starting to show her true “Smith” genes. She has a genuine love for cooking and baking. I can’t even make her a bowl of cereal without her wanting to stir it. It’s very cute, and I love how much she wants to do this together. It forces my hand at cooking, something I like to do, but don’t do often. Until now…

I asked Madelyn what she thought we should get Grandpa N for Father’s Day, and she said, “Let’s make him some cookies!” Great idea! She decided she wanted to make her personal favorite, M & M cookies. Isn’t it interesting how she wanted to make her favorite cookie for Grandpa? Yes. I think so. This was all one big plot to make herself some cookies. ;)

We had a great time mixing everything together and baking them. We “tested” that batter during each step of the process, and every taste got a little better than the last. And I must say, minus about 7 cookies that somehow managed to turn out black on the bottom (I’m blaming it on the pan), they turned out perfect! Yum!

Guess what she's doing in this picture...
