Cookies for Nana

Colton and I had a fun and exciting morning making cookies to take to Nana's house today.  This was one of the best days off for me since I've been on vacation.  When we were making the cookies, Colton said, "Mama, this is so much fun, it's amazing!  I love this day!"  Amazing........how and when do they learn such big words at only the age of 4 1/2 years.  He really did have a lot of fun helping make the cookies.  I'm so glad we did it.  They actually turned out to be quite delicious.  Since this was the first time we've ever made them, that is really saying something.  Here's the recipe in case you are wanting to try something new.  Enjoy.
