St Patty's Day Cookies!

Yesterday we went to Ellie's to make St Patty's cookies! Mechelle and I had been looking at Bakerella's site and found these cute chocolate mint cookies that looked delicious so we thought we would give them a try! What we found out was A) they WERE delicious and B) We are NOT Bakerella! Hers looked so cute and professional and (as you will see in the pics ours didn't!) Anyway, we had a fun time with the kids and got some good treats to eat--even if they didn't look good!

On a happier note...

Tonight (before the tongue incident) the girls and I made Chocolate Cakes in a mug! Tomorrow for activity days we are making them so I thought I'd give them a trial run tonight! The girls loved them...they just love to cook and it was fun because they each got to make their own!

Here's the cake in the microwave (2 min 45 seconds...no more...no less...the instructions are very specific about this!) It rises up out of the cup a little and the girls loved to watch it (It actually became a contest between them "Mine got higher than yours did!" Gotta love sisters!)

Here they are enjoying the wonderful cakes they made!

One cake was probably more than enough for all of them but I had to let them each make their own...it's the experience of baking!...next time we will just make one!
