Christmas Cookies

Cameron tried to eat the dough.  Surprised?  I was more surprised by the fact that he prefers eating play doh.

A proud moment. 

Jack's turn to eat the cookie dough.  The bag said it made 3 dozen.  We made 14 cookies.

I didn't let him eat the dough so I gave him the rolling pin to chew on instead.

Cameron licking the dough.  My apologies if you actually ate any of our cookies as they had already been sampled.  Consider it taste testing.

Making Christmas cookies was interesting.  Both kids participated even if it was just by patting, licking and eating the dough.  It was an attempt.  Neither one ate a ton of dough, which surprised me because both of them will sit down with a tub of Play Doh and just chow down.  We've had to stop playing Play Doh because of that very reason.  When asked how much is too much Play Doh to consume the doctor's response was, "Well most kids take one bite and that's it because it tastes awful."  "How 'bout a half a tub, doc?  That too much?"  Geez.  What a pain in the ass that was.  No really.  Come back to my Christmas day post.  

Anyway, Cameron sat there with me for about 20 minutes, which is a huge accomplishment considering his attention span.  He took a good sized chunk of dough then went "cook" with it in his play kitchen.  ***Note for the future:  Keep track of all dough you lend out.  Two days later Jack is playing in the play kitchen and just going to town chewing on something.  You guessed it.  There's the cookie dough from two days ago sitting in the oven waiting to be cooked.
