I hadn’t thought of these as Christmas Cookies: I’d never made them in December, not had them then. But M asked for them and cheerfully formed them last week.
M used the recipe from Mrs Fields Best Cookie Book Ever.
His MomMom and he made them a year ago Summer when I was recovering from foot surgery, and she and DadDad were staying with us.
She had him do all the work, so he was very proud, but also tired. I was actually surprised that he wanted to make them again.
Sometimes a kid’s memory of a special time is more positive than surrounding adults’.
I’ll try to remember this next time an activity I introduce the kids to seems to fall flat.
