Lovahhhhh Cookies
August 21, 2008
Once upon a time — okay, a year ago, *ahem* — I sucked at baking. Truly, truly sucked, in a major sort of way. Ryan would get visibly nervous as I bust out the flour, and sugar, and measuring cups. “Uhhh, Jenn, you sure you want to be doing that?” But since becoming a mother, I’ve honed my domestic skills and sort of rule the kitchen. On a good day.
Look at me, I’m miss bakey-bakey, muffin-top lady!
Anyways, the reason I’m writing this post is because “chochi-chip kookies” is like love tonic for Kai; give him a fresh-baked cookie, and all is well and swell. There’s just such a warm, happy feeling as we sit at the table, chomping away on our “sfecial treets” and making funny faces at each other. I really hope I’m creating some positive childhood memories for him, and so glad that I gave baking another go. I dream to one day conquer pie. But just thinking about buttery flour and rolling pins gives me anxiety.

Ok, Jenn, there aren’t too many things I am great at, but I will say that baking is one of the few..So, let’s do a baking day! I can teach you an easy, roller free pie recipe! :)
We have lots of cookie monsters in our family. Thankfully, Dave has honed his talent and become the master :)
