How to bake cookies with a Toddler

How to bake cookies with a toddler:

Step one: While your toddler is napping, and you're busy making a toddler sized bag for your child who's in need of her own things to carry while out of the house. Have your husband measure out all the ingredients for the cookies and place them in bowls on a child sized table in the kitchen

 Step two: After waking form her nap, going for a pee, having a snack and cleaning up, help your toddler pour all the ingredients into a bowl.

 Step three: Before dumping in the next ingredient, help your toddler bring each empty dish over to the sink once it's empty

Step four: Mix all ingredients by hand, allowing your toddler to feel the dough with her own hands ( and eat it since there's no eggs)

Step five: Have your toddler help roll the cookie dough into balls,  place it on a cookie sheet, and squish it flat
