Cookies!

We've been having some very cold, very wet weather lately which means Ella has had to stay indoors.

She's been pretty good with amusing herself so far, but today she's bored and a little on the grumpy side.

Ella: Rosie, I'm bored.

Me: Do you want me to make you a hot chocolate?

Ella: But we don't have any raspberry and white chocolate chip cookies left to have with it.

Me: Why don't you just make some more?

Ella: Really!? Can I!?

Me: Sure.

Ella: Can I make them pink?

Me: Haha, ok, come on then and I'll help you.

Ella: Ok, I think I've got everything Rosie.

Me: Alright then. First we need to put the flour into the bowl.

Ella: Ok!

.............

Ella: Ok....

Ella: How many cups?

Me: Four cups.

Me: One...

Ella: Two...

Me: Three...

Ella: Four.

Ella: Done!

Me: Ok, next is the water.

..............

Ella: I just pour the whole jug in?

Me: Yes.

..............

...............

.............

Ella: There.

Me: Good. Now give it a quick stir.

Ella: Ok.

Me: Here, now I'll add the milk.

...........

Ella: * singing * Stir stir stirring!

Ella: Now do we add the stuff that makes them pink?

Me: Yep.

.............

Ella: Oooh, it's pink!

Me: Yes, and now we add the white chocolate chips.

Ella: Ok!

............

Ella: How much?

Me: I'll tell you when to stop.

............

Me: And.....stop. Good! Now give it a mix.

..........

Me: Here, I'll add the raspberry flakes.

.............

Ella: Now what?

Me: Now we clear the bench and put the cookies on a tray in the oven.

Ella: Ok!

.....................

Ella: Finished!

Me: Good job! I'll put them in the oven.

Me: Now they've just got to cook for a little while. Why don't you go wait in your room Ella and I'll call you when they're ready.

Ella: Ok then.

* a little while later *

Ella: Ugh, how much longer!

...........

Me: Ella.

Ella: Yeah?

Me: Look what just came out of the oven.

Ella: * gasp * Cookies!

Me: I made your hot chocolate too.

Ella: Thanks Rosie!

Ella: They look a bit red.

Me: Yes, the oven darkened them. We'll have to remember to make the mixture lighter next time.

Ella: Oh, ok.

Berry: ..........

Ella: Oh, do you want to try one Berry?

Ella: Here you go.

............

............

Ella: * nibbles *

Me: Are they good?

Ella: Mhmmm!

Berry: * nibble *
