Ella and I love to bake cookies together. It is one of our favorite activities in the afternoons while Claire is napping. Ella is great at helping me measure ingredients, pour them in the bowl, and operate the mixer. Chocolate chip is our favorite. But today we made ginger cookies as part of a gift for her preschool teachers. Ella declared that she didn't like these newfangled cookies...although she appeared to have no problem licking the beater clean. Go figure.
