Logan and I baked pumpkin chocolate chip cookies - and he loved it

MyBrownEyedBoy wrote: I'll probably get some flack for allowing him to lick beaters, what with the raw eggs and all, but I did it every time I helped make cookies as a kid and I never got sick. To me, it's an important childhood ritual. And I don't want him to miss out on the fun stuff.
So, here's some pics of Logan and I baking cookies this morning.

My3LilMonkeys replied: Looks like a lot of fun! And really, who doesn't lick beaters?

luvmykids replied: Sounds yummy and looks fun! Why bake cookies if you can't lick the beaters?

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: It's my grammy's recipe and I love it. They have some oatmeal in them, so that makes them "healthy" cookies, right? I bake them every fall. So far, this is the 4th batch I've made.

Calimama replied: YUMMY! He's so cute!.. and I STILL lick the beaters. DH used to get mad when I did it while I was pregnant. In my defense I forgot!!

Farelle replied: I LOVE pumpkin choc chip cookies!! Can you post the recipe...I have one but yours sounds good with oatmeal in it.

MyBrownEyedBoy replied:
Absolutely. I'll post it in the recipe forum.

A&A'smommy replied: mmmm yummy!!!! I love his superman pjs

MyBrownEyedBoy replied:
So does he. He didn't take them off until 11am. It's always an argument when they need to be washed. He actually has two pairs, one is short sleeved with shorts, then the long sleeved winter pair. Gotta love gifts from grandparents. He loves the cape.

CantWait replied: We're cookie dough/cake batter lickers here also. Glad you guys enjoyed yourself. Logan is such a cutie.

Twelve Volt Man replied: I am an old-school beater licker. The anti-e-coli nazis will never convince me that it's unsafe!

MyBrownEyedBoy replied:
I think it's salmonella, but I totally agree. I never, and I mean never, got sick after licking beaters. It's a childhood necessity.

lovemy2 replied: I didn't realize until I got older that you are acutally supposed to make the cookies with the cookie dough I know it probably isn't the best thing in the world for you but chocolate chip cookie dough is my all time fav treat - Olivia and her little friend from school and I made a DOUBLE batch this weekend

Twelve Volt Man replied: Salmonella... that's what I meant!
