I had planned to make fudge and date nut balls for some of our neighbors, so I enlisted Mac’s and Coe’s help. They insisted on making cookies for Santa and had minimal interest in the date nut balls. As flour flew, sprinkles scattered the floor and icing was smeared on the counter tops, I briefly thought about the check I had just written Mrs. Sylvia for cleaning the house. Oh well…tis the season to not care about messes!
Although Mac had a great time making and decorating the cookies, Copeland was in hog heaven. He licked off the icing faster than we could get it on the cookies, and he had no problem slopping more icing and sprinkles on top of the cookie he had licked clean! The end result was a messy kitchen, a plateful of cookies (some of which had a few bites out of them) and two very happy little boys. Mommy was admittedly happy as well!
