Carob Valentine's Cookies

"What did you say?"

This week is Valentine's Day!

"So, that means treats???"

That's right! 

Here are the ingredients we need.

First mix all the dry ingredients together.

After mixing the egg, water, and honey in

the mixer, slowly add the dry ingredients.

Place dough ball on a floured surface.

"Those smell good!"

Roll out dough and cut into shapes.

Place on a lined cookie sheet.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes.

"I wonder if my tongue will fit through this crack?"

I love your Valentine collar, Jenny.

"Those look so yummy."

How about we play with your toy to keep

your mind off of the oven?

Are you ignoring me?

"I'm concentrating."

She is good at concentrating

when it comes to food!

"It dinged, it dinged! They're done!"

They are done, but you know you have to

wait until they cool before you can eat them.

Poor thing.

I left the room and came back

and she was still waiting.

Be my Valentine!

"Tasty!"
