I cannot describe to you how delicious our apartment smells right now- the boys are going nutso. They spent the last hour sitting at the kitchen door watching me bake. The final results are cooling as I type, but here are a few highlights from our baking adventure!

http://www.californiak9kitchen.com/ sent us some goodies and we finally set aside some to bake them. What a great Sunday afternoon activity!

Here are the mixes we had to choose from, we decided on Peanut Butter- an all time favorite flavor of our boys (not to mention us humans, my skin kids are drooling over the smells as I type). The packaging is wonderful, notice the little cookie cutters? I love the labeling and messages from Guido- too cute.

So, the peanut butter cookies require a few simple ingredients.

Mixing them all up to form a dough.

The boys waiting anxiously at the kitchen doorway- they never left their station.

This is a bad time to find out that your rolling pin is not where it should be...so we continue and improvise.

Although I love the little cookie cutters that they graciously include, I thought this would be a great time to finally use the Sequoia Tree cookie cutters an old friend gave me awhile back, too.

Our home is smelling heavenly at this point and the boys are too curious and enter the kitchen and we all look into the oven window.

Perfect timing to let them eat a bit of dough, I set aside for them- don't all kids just LOVE to eat cookie dough!

The first pan is now cool and they turned out great! They look both delicious and cute! Earthy and healthy, eh?

Send that to me! I love peanut butter cookies!

-g

That's frikkin hysterical!
Love the stop action play by play sequences - very kewl.
The boys seem to know when a good time is happening.
I think that you and Junebug (another baking maven) should sponsor a bake off at Flagg Ranch this summer.

PS: Can you bake those cookies in a Dutch Oven?

I have no idea, I'd guess so- I am guessing you can just line the bottom- they'd cook quickly I think. All ingredients are human grade- my boys tried them, even.

I am really NOT a good baker, lol, K9 Kitchen did most the work. :)

Guido and his human, Joe, do such a nice job with their recipes. All their stuff is awesome and the girls love it! :-)

You're pictures are great!
