Chocolate Chip Cookies

One last hurrah before the summer heat arrives in full force, although today it is stinkin' hot. Remind me agian, why do I live in St. George? The kids love to make cookies and I thought we would do it one more time. From the months of June to September, there is no homemade goodies, although we will probably still make bread, in the middle of the night. It's way to hot to do it any other time.

Here they are fighting over who gets a turn to stir.

Not a great picture, but here was Piper under foot and serenading

us with a banging of bread pans throughout the entire process.

YUMMY!!

Another great recipie from Abby over at A Feathered Nest. The girl knows her cookies!
