Massive Cookie

Tyler and I checked out another picture book from the library that included a recipe, so of course you know what that means...we had some baking to do!

The book was called Wild Boars Cook and it was about four bossy, selfish, stinky boars that had insatiable appetites. After making a massive pudding that failed to satisfy, they decided to make a massive cookie to eat next.

Tyler has been begging to make the cookie all week long, and today he finally got his wish. I left a stick of butter on the counter so that it would be soft and ready to "cream" by the time he got home from school.

The recipe is basically a standard chocolate chip cookie that is decorated with m&m's and gumdrops. We didn't have any gumdrops so we just used m&m's.

Tyler decorated the cookie to look like a face. It has a rainbow smile, eyes, a nose and some hair.

We used the last of our mini baking m&m's on the cookie, but maybe we should have used regular sized ones. Ours kind of disappeared right into the cookie. You can't really even see the face anymore. Oh well, that's not enough to keep us from digging in.

We tried not to be too boarish about it. We neatly cut ourselves a piece and saved the rest for another time. I suggested that we try to eat the whole cookie in ten seconds flat like the wild boars would, but Tyler didn't think that was a good idea. Maybe he's right.
