Kinderkitten Cookies

Elijah is my child that loves to help in the kitchen! (Can't believe that in two weeks he will be 6!!)

Matter of fact he has informed me that if we looked at a house to move to he would make sure the kitchen was big enough. :) He is so thoughtful!!

He also loves to look at books and be read to. One of his favorites is a book that someone gave us YEARS ago, Kinderkittens; Who took the cookie from the cookie jar? 

The book has a cookie recipe in the back and of coarse Elijah wants me and him to bake these cookies.

What a great opportunity to spend time with him!

Wanted to share the recipe with you and the pictures of our cookies and my cookie baker. :)

Timothy and Joanna were quick to be our first taste testers!!
