Strawberry Cookies

We made Strawberry Cookies with White Chocolate Chips todayd.  They are good.  And so pretty!  Who can resist a pink cookie?

They were super-easy!

Box of strawberry cake mix
1/2 c oil
2 eggs
3/4 c white chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350.  Mix all ingredients together and dollop on cookie sheet.  Bake for 10-12 minutes.  Voila!

The best part about these was that the girls could help with the whole thing!  They each got to add 2 things.  I didn't let them put the cookies on the sheet, but they did taste the dough and, of course, the cookies when they came out of the oven.  We got 24 cookies out of the recipe, and they were all nice sized.

For lunch, we had chicken noodle soup that Pnut and I watch Giada make yesterday.  Well, sort of.  We modified it a little. 

2 c chicken broth plus 1 c water
Leftover chicken, about 1 c or so
Juice of 1 lemon
bay leaf
carrots
spaghetti noodles.

Heat broth, water, bay leaf, and juice to boiling.  Add carrots and cook for 5-8 minutes until just tender.  Add spaghetti and cook almost all the way through.  Add chicken and heat until chicken is warmed through. 

I really liked this!  The lemon gave the broth and the noodles a nice flavor.  The girls loved it too!  The carrots were perfect because they weren't mushy or anything, slightly crsip to bite yet. 

We had a fun day cooking together.  The girls also helped me prepare a coleslaw tonight and popovers for supper.  They love to cook!
