Cooking with Taylor

Yesterday, my big girl went off to another round of bible school. This one is themed science/cookery camp and the goal is to learn about god's miracles and do some fun experiements. It seems she is a girl after my own heart in both the science and the cooking!

She came home with four projects yesterday and was so proud of them. The little cake she made/decorated was actually good tasting. She shared it with me and Jamie for our afternoon snack along with a glass of milk. I blinked and Jamie had scarfed his down!

Yesterday afternoon, she was "doing imagination" as she says and was pretending to be "Miss Taylor" the teacher. She was conducting her class for cooking and arts and crafts. It was so sweet to watch.

So, now that she is a professional cook (so to speak) I asked her if she wanted to help me in the kitchen again. So far she has done well helping me with the few things we have made together. We took the Duncan Hines Dark Fudge Brownie mix and followed the recipe on the side for cookie sandwiches. You make the mix and do a drop cookie instead of a brownie. Then after the cookies have cooled you slather on Vanilla Frosting on one side of each cookie and slap them together to make a sandwich. The sandwiches are very rich and one is enough for anyone. Oh those cookies taste so good even without the frosting. I had never thought of making chocolate cookies that way but they were so good. They reminded me of cookies at the mall that we sometimes get. Taylor did a great job and was so cute in her "barbie" apron.
