We were super stirring the cookies mix, and i used vegetable oil to grease the baking pan :) on the stove, i got a stick of butter melting in a cooking pot, and then added in some marshmallows :) We got the cookies all set, and ready to bake :) we were having lots of fun baking, and sharing lots of smiles :) The kids were doing great too, and they were listening to Kayla and i, as we helped guide them through the steps to baking the cookies, and making the rice krispies treats :)We're so proud of the kids :) 

i put the first batch of cookies into the oven to bake :) as the cookies were baking, we then got the rice krispies all set, in the marshallow and butter :) i then used a metal spatula to scoop the rice krispies into the pan :) we set the rice krispies into the pan nicely :) as the rice krispies treats were cooling down, we did some cleaning in the kitchen, and were hanging out :) the first batch of cookies finished baking, and i put in another batch of cookies :) Little Hunter loves cookies, and he was so excited when we gave him a cookie :) awww! :) 

Hunter was up by the counter, and he was so fascinated to see how we were baking :) he looked so proud to be up on the counter area, with the baking friday crew :) awww! :) The cookies baked nicely, and the rice krispies cooled down :) i sliced the rice krispies treats, and took pictures of the treats :) it was then time to dig in! :) we all tried some of the treats, they came out great! :) i took a picture of Hunter reach for a cookie! :) awww! :) We had so much fun baking, and cooking today :) Sharing lots of smiles :) we love baking friday :) i thanked everyone for helping bake :) We look forward to many more super fun baking friday adventures :)
