Chocolate chip cookies...

Friday baking! Mace has figured out what we are doing Friday mornings in the kitchen, and wants to be involved too... So the three of us bake, it's tough, but I think it is important for both kids to get that experience... Today we baked chocolate chip cookies, they were freakishly amazing! Really... You should bake them! Haha, I would go a little bit easier on the sugar next time, and I didn't use walnuts because the kids aren't allergy tested yet...
