KL jumped right in and helped me the entire day. She reminds me of myself when I was her age in that she likes to bake. She's never made fudge before and really loved licking the spoon when we finished! The first thing we did was make the cookie dough for the sugar cookies we would use later on in the day.
My favorite cookie is the Lemon Dream Bar and I make them every Christmas. 
It took two of us to stir the fudge . . . this is the Million Dollar Fudge recipe, and is really rich and yummy.
As you can see, Jen got home in time for the fun of decorating the sugar cookies. The second cookie we made is the Spicy Molasses Cookie shown in the center of the table. (I forgot to take pictures while we were making them.) This one both KL and CD helped with rolling the cookie dough into walnut-sized balls, then into the sugar before placing them on the baking sheet. This cookie is easy to make and absolutely delicious!
The cookie cutters we used were stars, trees, bells, teddy bears, and, of course KL's favorite . . . a few horses.
CD loves decorating cookies . . . and licking his fingers.
Here he is proudly showing the world his creations!Life is good . . . baking Christmas cookies with my grandkids!
