Robot Bears, AKA Nimue's Cookies

Nimue decided to make the peanut butter bear recipe out of her cookbook yesterday afternoon, and as I had plenty of other things to work on, I let her do it largely on her own. Aside from her discovery that turning the stand mixer on high when it is filled with flour creates a "flour storm", she did pretty well.

The recipe calls for miniature chocolate chips for the eyes. I only keep the standard-sized ones in the house, which meant that the cookie bears had mutant big eyes when she first put them on (better after baking). Here is her reaction -- if you weren't convinced she is delightfully goofy, this is yet more proof...

And of course, after the first tray of bears, she moved on to making bunnies and cats :)
