Cookie Dough

Zach loves to help me bake.  If he sees a cube of butter out on the counter, he always asks excitedly if I am making cookies.  And then he quickly pulls his step over by the mixer and is ready to help, whether I am in fact ready to make cookies yet or not.  I haven't decided if he likes to help because he thinks it is fun, or because he likes the end products.  Maybe a little of both? 

So we were baking the other day and I had to run upstairs to get Austin up from his nap.  I came back down to find Zach kindly cleaning off the beater for me.  Lucky for him, the dough was done.

(and I was grateful that I always unplug the mixer if I have to step away from it for a minute!)

Pleased!
