Cookie Time!
September 6, 2009 | Filed Under Eliza Dove, Photos, Recipe
I’m going to state for the record that Miss Eliza Dove has never met a cookie she didn’t like.
Never. Never ever, ever.
She and I are a lot a like.
Yesterday I made Peanut Butter cookies with chocolate chunks in them. Because pairing chocolate and peanut butter together surely makes the angels sing just a little bit louder. Don’tcha think?
Me too.
I sweetened the cookies with lots of honey and about a quarter of a cup of (unnecessary) raw sugar. I do that so the kids can eat as many of them as they want and I don’t worry about the amount of sugar they are consuming.
Eve and Judah ate about half a cookie. They were more interested in playing. Eliza and I… we didn’t even leave crumbs.
I thought I’d give you a little play by play of Eliza and her cookie. Because…. I can. And because she’s very chubby and cute. And, you know you love her. Besides, she learned how to smile on demand this week and it melts me like butter on a hot knife. And I wanted to share that experience with you.
Cookie…
Cookie, cookie…
Do you see this cookie? Take a good, long look at it because it is about to be history, baby…
I swear, she unhinged her jaw. I mean… wow. Just, wow.
Bye, bye!
Waste not, want not… she ate every last crumb.
What? Do I have something on my face?
Smile!
Tell me you aren’t feeling a bit like melted butter now too… I just love having my very own (cute as a button!) cookie eating partner!
What’s your favorite kind of cookie?! Mine… Trash cookies (aka: pimped up No Bakes) or my Chocolate Chip or Molasses Crinkles or… I could go on. And on. And on.

I LOVE that smile on demand picture! LOVE it! My Lila-lu loves her cookies too – she never asks for a cookie though – she always asks for two.

I absolutely LOVE your chocolate chip cookies. Also, regular old no bakes are mine and Scott’s all-time favs. These pictures are precious and I definitely laughed out loud at the picture of her stuffing the cookie in her mouth! Too cute!

Oh, we love some cookies round these parts too. Those pictures are just precious! She is a funny girl, that Eliza dove. Chocolate and peanut butter is one of my favorite combos too. But chocolate chip cookies, they are my all time favorite.

Oh my – Eliza just melts my heart. I started giggling and couldn’t stop at the pictures and your captions.
As for my favorite type of cookie, give me good old fashioned chocolate chip any day. I also am a fan of gingersnaps. Like you and Eliza, I’ve almost never met a cookie I didn’t like. The only time I say no is if there are raisins involved – so no oatmeal raisin for me.

Girl!! I absolutely died laughing through this whole post!! When I hit the “unhinged jaw” section I laughed so hard Monk asked me what was so funny!! haha!! Those pictures are absolutely CLASSIC!! Oh my, sweet Eliza is just something else! She DOES melt my butter… ::sigh::
Oh yea..and cookies. Never met one I didn’t like. Well except for the raisin ones. Raisins are of the devil and do not belong in cookies. That’s all.

Personally, I love ALL cookies. Which is why I have so much baby weight to lose! LOL!

first of all – that “on cue” smile is ADORABLE!
and secondly…
can i have a cookie too?
oh and ps. when you substitute honey for sugar in a recipe, how exactly do you do that? i would love to “healthify” my cookies, so as to thereby justify eating six at a time.
not that i would ever do such a thing…

Peanut butter cookies with chocolate kisses on the top are my fave! I love Eliza’s outfit and the cookie monster pic @ the bottom is precious!
Molly @ Star Cottage´s last blog ..Oh Yeah!
hudson calls ANYTHING that is “extremely good” a cookie. hearing that my garlic pasta is a “cookie” is the highest compliment a cook could receive.
he and eliza would be good kitchen companions.

Hmm… I can’t say I have ever met a cookie I didn’t like either. But my favorite is probably a chocolate chip cookie fresh from the oven. Oh, now guess what I want.
Love, love, love the photos! You have a very adorable cookie eating partner!

Eliza is too precious chomping into that cookie. Who can blame her, peanut butter and chocolate are the BEST!! They are banned from my house though!! Dang food allergies!!

Lawd.. she was channeling a boa constrictor in that one shot! That is totally hilarious! And I love the crinkly-nosed smile. LOVE it! As for me and cookies, gosh, that’s hard. I love the Girl Scout Samoa cookies; they make me think of “Hollywood Bars” or something like that, that were out when I was a kid. And wedding cookies..the ones that melt in your mouth and are covered with powdered sugar..mmmmm.. AND, really good shortbread. I gotta stop now. I need a cookie!

Eliza is adorable! My fave cookie would probably be snickerdoodle but honestly,I am much like Eliza in that there are not many cookies I do not like. Question…how much honey do you use in your PB cookies? BTW, if you can’t email me just leave a comment on my blog.:)
