If none of the cookies make it to the oven, that's okay around our house because we love cookie dough! Did you know that if you go to a pizza joint in town, where they make their own cookies, they'll sell you a scoop of cookie dough for $1?? Sheer genius!! I lack patience when it comes to my kids helping me in the kitchen but if we're making cookies, I just have to make it to the cookie dough stage. Once there, they just want to eat dough and pretty much lose interest in helping me. My cookie making has gone up considerably since the dairy free thing because I can make most of my cookie recipes by substituting margarine for butter. And I feel like I deserve to eat a lot of cookies since I can't have anything in the way of ice creams, puddings, chocolates, etc. So I end up sneaking about 5 cookies a day until they're gone. It's not great for the waistline but they taste so yummy!! Besides, that's what exercise is for, right?

mmmmmmmm, cookie dough...
I love cookie dough. I have a hard time letting my kids help, too. Jeff, on the other hand, is so cute with them and has a ball with them. I do let them help frost, though (unless I'm going to give them away).
Uuuhhh... cookies!!! I've been wanting to make cookies for a long time now. Okay, it's only been a couple weeks... but you know... the whole no sugar thing. Well, I went to the dr. and it was still low, so I'm totally making cookies tonight and eating a bunch!!!
Love their cute aprons!
What a cute picture! I don't think I need to go into my love of cookie dough...as you said, the waistline says it all!
Updating that I DID make cookie dough on Wednesday, LOL. Some of the dough actually made it to cookies... but only after we approximately ate our weight in dough first!
