2nd Annual Pepparkakor Baking

Getting the dough warm

Getting ready to start--oh the excitement!

Smush it down!

Roll it out!

It has to be really, really thin--that's what makes them delicious!

Pressing the cutter down

The "neighs" that Paxton made!

Decorating the cookies

Ah-finally-tasting my work!

This was when I was making cookies, and he climbed up on the stool and started stealing my dough! He would have eaten the whole thing of raw dough!

Caught in the act of eating more dough



We did our annual Pepparkakor baking at Grandma and Pops' house after church. After Pax made his cookies, Pops watched him while Mom and I knocked out a lot of the baking.

Last year, Pax got to enjoy eating the cookies, but was too little to REALLY experience the baking part. This year, he got the dough ready, smushed it down, helped to roll it out, pushed the cookie cutters in the dough, and decorated them, all while getting flour EVERYWHERE!
