Christmas Cookies.....gone in a flash!

Finally.....

On Christmas Day.....

While getting the ham ready......

These very anxious and excited 'cookie helpers' had a chance to actually do some {very little} Christmas cookie baking!

Nothing fancy.


Nothing complicated.


Just easy peanut butter/chocolate kisses with red and green sprinkles Christmas cookies!
Like I said ~ super-duper easy!

The Littles 'job':
Operation un-wrap!

Done with gusto!
(Just a side note: Notice how Shea's candy kisses are all lined up?  Notice how Avery's are not?  My girls in a nutshell!)
Done with high levels of concentration.


Also done one-handed! ha!
Talented girl!



The dough was rolled, sprinkled and ready to go!
It was baked.
Kisses were plopped on top.

Cookies cooled.




And just like that....

Then were gone!
Like in a matter of seconds.
The horde family descended upon the couple of dozen cookies....
And they were gone!
Gone! I tell you!

Pretty sad.
So far those are the only Christmas cookies I have managed to bake....

Hoping to bake some more this week.
My daughter-in-law emailed me a recipe called
"one dough can make many cookies".
(Sounds like my kind of recipe!)

Oh well.
Shea & Avery had fun 'baking' for those few minutes!
