Butterfly cookies. This is a simple cookie recipe you probably can make today without going shopping for additional ingredients. My cousin gave me cookie cutters for Christmas and these cookie cutters  came with cookie recipes on cute little cards tied to each cutter.
My niece thought making cookies was a good idea and being a cookie chef was an even better one! though she calls them crackers, I'm not sure why . Anyway She said she'd help me with the dishes too so we had a deal! We washed our hands and got started.

 I mixed  the butter and sugar. and she asked if it was "I-keem". It's always worth an ask.

She rolled out her ball of dough.

 Sometimes we eat a little raw cookie dough while we're working.

She carefully picked off the tiny little bits of dough from the rolling pin...

 then she had a better idea! Just like corn on the cob.
That's all for now we have cookies to eat and dishes to do.

 Thanks Crobi! We had good time.
