My little cookie monster
Posted By pamelamyers on October 26, 2013
As much as Sam likes her sweets, it is not all sweets that she likes. Take cookies for instance. She loves animal crackers and my mom’s sugar cookies, but won’t eat chocolate chip cookies, Oreos, or most other kinds. Her favorite cookie by far is my mom’s sugar cookie. It is an old family recipe that came from my mom’s Grandmom Brynes, so I guess that makes them Sam’s Great-Great Grandmother’s cookies. It’s pretty cool that of all cookies, an old, well-loved family recipe is her favorite. My mom makes them for her on occasion, always at Christmas, but at other times of year too. I guess Sam had a hankering for them Monday morning because she asked me for them and when I said we didn’t have any, she insisted on calling my mom to tell her. Tuesday, my mom and Sam made cookies. You can tell by the look on her face that she is loving every minute.
My mom let her wear this cat apron she has had forever and Sam loved it so much it came home with her. It looks fantastic on top of her pajamas, which she refused to get out of that day, if I do say so myself.
Sam actually is a good little cookie maker. She uses the cutters well and my mom even showed her the trick of shaking the cutter around a bit to loosen up the dough inside. The only thing Sam needs to work on is trying to cut the cookies out in some semblance of order on the rolled dough. She tends to just plop the cutter down anywhere, instead of keeping her cuts close together, so you wind up rolling the dough a million times.
I think her favorite part is decorating. She concentrates very hard on adding those sprinkles!
Here are the finished cookies ready for the oven! The gigantic one on the top left is her dinosaur. Not sure why, there is no dinosaur cookie cutter, but that is what Sam said it is, so there you go. She likes all the people to hold hands so most of them get joined together. She is so sweet. Sam did note that, unlike Mommy, Grandmom does not have a girl cutter, just a boy. She wants that remedied right away, so we will have to work on that.
The cookies turned out very tasty indeed! Good work, Chef Samantha!
