satisfiedI did have grand illusions of making wonderful memories of Tucker and I decorating cookies and having fun. Instead it may be overcast with audio memories of Mommy saying, "Stop touching the chocolate. Don't put that in your mouth. Now you can't use that to stir the chocolate. No one wants your saliva on their cookies!!!" "Real bakers don't..." Oye!
Back up Candes. The kid is 3 years old AND IT'S CHOCOLATE for pete's sake. WHO in their right mind, man or child, is going to resist eating the stuff? I certainly didn't last night. So, I eventually eased up and quietly noted which cookies had been defiled by eager fingers. Tucker reamained in good spirits and kept me from boiling over.
I turned the red and white cookies into snowmen wearing caps. I'm going to attempt to do more batches and perfect my technique for a smoother finish. They are delicious none the less. I've dubbed the snowmen my "Motley Crew, " a little rough around the edges.
I must give credit to Sugar Shack at CC for sharing her idea, which she got from Favorz.net. If you ask me, Sugar Shack did a nicer job.
So my next venture will be sugar cookies and giving Tucker the license to decorate however his heart desires. Let the child be. I'll take pictures and just expect to clean up a messy work station, i.e. our dinning room table, AND a messy little boy.
