Chocolate Chip Sugar Cookie Drops: Cooking with Mara

Mara (aka the girl child) and her dad have always enjoyed spending time together in the kitchen. He's way more patient than I am, what can I say? Yesterday they whipped up a batch of these lovely little sugar cookies...most of which I have already eaten. Recipe at the bottom of this post.

Adding the chocolate chips.... Mixing it all up.....

She gets it from the other side of the family... Such concentration....
