Cookie experiment

There's nothing quite like throwing a few ingredients together, baking them, and seeing what they turn out like.  Our Valentines cookies turned out pretty well, I must say. The kids really seemed to like them, which is the most important part! Here's approximately what we stirred together:

2 mashed bananas
about a cup of flour
about 1/3 cup sugar
about 1/4 cup oats
some oil
a little baking powder
a little baking soda
strawberry koolaide (because they did need to be red, of course)
a few shakes of cinnamon

healthy dose of pride

Kitchen experiments are science experiments, and we love it when science comes to life.  The cookies could have tasted a lot worse, and the kids still probably would have loved them, because of that last (and most important) ingredient.
