Lily began looking up scriptures for the Scripture Cookies found in the March Children’s Friend today during sacrament meeting. Alexis, sitting next to her, decided to help her out. When the meeting ended they both asked if they could make them after church – I’m sure their fasting made the prospects of eating the cookies more delectible. I was happy to let them, especially when I saw the sparkle in Lily’s eye. They reminded me that they did not want lemon extract & dried fruit in their cookies – they would be substituting coconut extract & chocolate chips like any respectable kids would do.
So after dinner they set out to make the cookies unassisted. They had fun (Olivia even got in on it) managing the kitchen on their own, but were a little deflated with their deflated cookies. Apparently the recipe should have called for more flour?! Mason and JT thought they were swell though.
