I can't recall the last time I have made cookies from scratch. Obviously it has been so long ago that our 4 year old, Nathan, can't remember it either! Here is the conversation I had with Nathan at the grocery store last week:
Mom: Let's make some cookies today.
Nathan: We can't make cookies, Mom. Let's buy some.
Mom: We can make cookies.
Nathan: (thinking) Oh yah, let's get some cookie dough.
Mom: We can make our own cookie dough.
Nathan: (quizzical look) Let's just buy some cookies.
Needless to say we have made many batches of cookies within the past week and have had lots of fun!
