Cookie Making Date!

Saturday Micah and I decided that while the girls were napping that we wanted to do something Christmasy and fun together! We thought about it for a minute and then we had it! We could make Christmas Cookies! We both like to bake, we needed to make a Christmas Dessert for our Ward Christmas Party and the girls were both snoozing away, so we thought it would be the perfect time! And since our family's FAVORITE Christmas Desserts are Cookies, and since Christmas Balls and Chocolate Roly Polys are 2 of our FAVORITES! We set to work! We made the Christmas Balls first because they take longer to cook and the Roly Polys second because they take longer to prepare! We both had a great time ~ prepping, rolling, baking, tasting and of course snapping pictures! I mean you need pics in the memory books of the parents doing fun things together too, right?

We both enjoyed every minute of it! And the girls co-operated so nicely, and slept for 2 hours while we baked! Haley didn't wake up until we were packaging the cookies and Emily slept until we had to wake her up to go to the Christmas Party, that girl LOVES TO SLEEP! We had fun and since it is the Christmas Cookie Baking Season we are hoping to get to do it again very soon!

Aprons on and Ready to get Started!

Gotta taste, during each step along the way!

Making our Christmas Ball Cookies look "Christmasy"!

Our Little Recipe Holder ( the only misprint in this recipe is that there is supposed to be 3/4 tsp. of salt NOT 2 tsp.)

Putting the Roly Polys in the Oven....I had to be super careful...these cookies are famous for rolling!

Our little recipe holder did a great job and the cookies turned out great!
