I know, another post – really?! But this one is just silliness.

The boys and I decided to make green cookies since it is St. Patrick’s Day.  I found the recipe on Pinterest and even though I’m not a huge baker we thought it would be fun.

I basically just read the recipe and the boys did the rest.  Things were going great early on.  Cream the butter and sugar:

Add the eggs and vanilla.

Even the flour and other dry ingredients went in OK.  But then….instead of just 1 cup of the white chocolate chips, the boys decided to add the entire bag.  And the food coloring – don’t get me started!

The recipe called for 6 drops – Easy enough.Well, Hunter thought that wasn’t enough so he took over with the color.

Apparently this wasn’t green enough for them either.Hunter added more and then more until this happened:Yikes!!!  They put the whole bottle in!!! OK – no big deal.  So we put the bowl in the fridge to chill for a bit so they could roll it into little balls before baking.I’m not sure that it chilled long enough (20 minutes).They are a mess!!Nice hands, Jordan!Hunter, are those small balls???

Not gonna lie – they are entertaining!!!  However, I’m not sure that the extra chips and all that food coloring was a great idea.

The recipe said to bake 8 minutes – not nearly enough!!!So we baked more!

And played around some!Hunter didn’t like that picture so he wanted me to get another but Jordan….

Anyway – we finally baked the cookies some more and this is what we ended up with.

Oh, wait – that’s the pan that the boys (and Chris) pretty much snarfed down.

We have mad baking skills!!  But it was a fun way to spend a cold St. Patrick’s Day afternoon!!
