Monster Cookies with Friends

 Amya had a friend over today and we decided to make monster cookies!

 I let the kids do almost all of it (it was very hard for me not to take over...there was sugar everywhere!)

 We opted out of the mixer and just used old fashion wooden spoons....they mixed and mixed and mixed...

We used the recipe on the back of the a chocolate chip bag, but used exactly half the sugar, subbed M&M's for the chips, and sprinkled coconut flakes on top.

 Nelson put his spoon in his mouth right out of the gate, so we just gave him a bunch of the ingredients and let him pretend he was helping!

 The kids thought the bottoms of the cookies were prettier than the tops...I think I agree!
