Today the kids are helping us bake our Peanut Butter Kiss Cookie Recipe.

Around here, children are in the kitchen almost as much as the adults. The minute the grandbabies hear me putzing in my kitchen or every night when Michelle starts dinner, we know it’s only moments before we hear, “Can I help?” And the answer is always the say, “Sure”. Sometimes it is hard coming up with a task that they can perform, but it is always possible to find something for them to do. They are especially enthusiastic about helping in the kitchen when there is holiday baking to be done! Who can blame them? The sites and smells are enough to drive anyone to distraction.

Here you can see them helping us make our Peanut Butter Kiss Cookie Recipe. Notice the hair on the girls.! This is definitely a Gammy thing. The minute I enter the kitchen my hair goes up in a truly no fuss, no fashion sense bun! (And there are times I forget and leave the house with a nest like this piled on my head!)

The Peanut Butter Kiss Cookie Recipe was not one of our family’s holiday cookies. It came with Tim, via his sister Lisa… thank you Lisa 🙂 It is now a mainstay in our holiday baking, and it is the tin of cookies that  mysteriously losses volume at an alarming rate. (You can’t see it but I’m giving a sideways glance at Tim…) Anyway… they are fun to make, encourage child participation, and are yummy to eat. Hope you enjoy!
