Baking isn't just for girls!

Because Sean thoroughly enjoyed himself while we baked our first batch of homemade peanut butter cookies together on Thursday afternoon.  I made a totally random decision to throw together some cookies after Sean's nap since we were going a little stir-crazy at home and needed something fun and different to do.  You can tell from the pictures below, that considering the both of us were still in our pajamas at 3:30 in the afternoon, we were having a lazy day.  I had avoided allowing Sean help with any cooking or baking since I didn't want to clean up any more of a mess than I usually make myself.  But, I was desperate for something to keep him entertained.

Since the first ingredient is peanut butter, we started off strong since I let him lick the spoon with the remnants of peanut butter.  And then he was hooked on helping...


I let him pour in the measured amounts of ingredients.


I let him watch me use the mixer.


He had the ever-so-important job of pressing the fork marks into the balls of cookie dough.



But, the best part was watching him run from his play room to the kitchen every few minutes to see if they were done baking in the oven.  And when they were...we got to enjoy a few fresh from the oven with milk!



He did a great job!  They were delicious!  And my craving for peanut butter cookies was fulfilled!
