Okay so first,
zest up that lemon!


​

Put the free labor to work and chop up the bananas.

In this case, the free labor in my house was cutie patootie 4 1/2 year old grandson
Little Boy Blue.

​I used frozen strawberries but made sure to drain off the liquid.


​
Picture
We're going to need
1 tsp lemon juice


so show the free labor how to squeeze a lemon through a sieve.


​
Picture
Now your unpaid child employee may want to go outside to play.

​DON'T LET HIM!

Just say
WE NEED 2 TSPS BAKING POWDER, STAT!!!!


​
Picture
Show the worker bee how to cut the cold butter into the flour. 
It may be at this time that your ward becomes restless, wanting to watch Ninja Turtles...  


​
Picture
DON'T LET HIM!!

Put that yittle boy to work in the banana machinery room with the banana mashing tool and mash up those bananas!



Then before he can say BUT I WANT TO GET ON MY TABLET,
shove the milk into his hands and tell him  POUR IT INTO THE BANANAS, ALONG WITH THE LEMON ZEST AND VANILLA!!  NOW!!

​

​
Picture
He will want to eat a banana piece out of the mixture and that is okay,

free labor needs nourishment in order to continue to be productive.



Picture
Now before he becomes aware
​of his role as a cookie making kitchen captive for taskmaster Grandma Angie, pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula.


Add the strawberries.
​Again, nourishment for the labor is entirely appropriate at this time.

​
Picture
This is the cookie dough mixture.

See the yummy bananas and strawberries, already?


​

​QUICK!! DO NOT LET THE NEW, SHORT, UNPAID STAFFPERSON TAKE A SNACK BREAK!
Keep him toiling with a cookie scooper tool.
Be on the lookout though, it's at this point in the assembly line, much of the cookie dough product can disappear if you're not paying attention.


​

​
Picture
So the pan is ready to go into the oven.



About 18-22 minutes later, the kitchen will fill up with a lovely aroma of
​"something done good cookin' in da oven". *

*Aroma description trademarked by me, but feel free to use it.

Go ahead, grab a cookie!
They're soft and billowy and have just the right amount of banana and strawberry sweetness to it. 
Picture




Picture
Finally
​the ravished little worker bee boy was allowed to take a break

and rest his weary legs and
​eat a cookie.




So as not to alert authorities in the
Grandma Cookie-Making Kitchen Oversight Department
at the local labor office, we let the cute little boy get some fresh air before his next job of toiling away on the chocolate chip cookie line.

​
Am hoping to show a stuffed flank steak recipe this week that makes my mouth water just writing about it!
