Baking with Addy

 This weekend I had a cookie exchange to go to and Addy wanted to help me bake my cookies (which aren't really cookies; they are S'more croissants, but whatever). I really like "semi-homemade" recipes and I found this fun idea on Pintrest which was coincidentally repined from Char Polanosky who runs the awesome website Doll Diaries.

This recipe was right my alley because it only takes a few ingredients, it's simple and quick, and they taste amazing!!

 All you really need is Pillsbury crescent rolls, chocolate chips, marshmallows, and I added cinnamon-sugar. 

First I unrolled the crescent rolls and Addy sprinkled on some cinnamon-sugar.

Next Addy dropped a small pile of chocolate chips... 

...and marshmallows on the dough. 

This is fun!! 

In the next step we rolled them up... it was a little tricky to keep everything stuffed inside and they do look a little weird (like mummies! lol)

Then we sprinkled a little more cinnamon-sugar on top.

We placed them on a cookie sheet and shaped them into a crescent and followed the crescent rolls' baking instructions printed on the package. 

While they are baking I'd like to take a minute to tell you why Addy's apron is so special to me. 

I got this apron when I was a little girl and it came in a set with a mini embroidery hoop and the thread and needle to embroider it yourself. My grandma ,Nanny, was fantastic at needlework and helped me to embroider the design on Addy's apron. To this day I have very vivid memories of sitting curled up next to her on the corner of her big couch watching her nimble little fingers delicately making the stitches. I can still hear her sweet voice telling me, "It is just as important to have good craftsmanship on the back as it is on the front because you see both sides." She gently guided me along the pattern except for the French knots. She said those were tricky and did them for me so they would be perfect :)

It is a precious little Pleasant Company product but the experience of making it with Nanny and knowing that some of those threads were put in place by her are what makes this apron one of my favorite AG pieces I own.

"DING!" Oh look the rolls are ready! Fat and golden... just right! 

 You can never have too much chocolate as far as I am concerned so we drizzled melted chocolate chips on top of the rolls.

To make them more festive and Christmasie for the cookie exchange Addy put some red,white, and green sprinkles on the chocolate drizzle. 

 Good team work Addy! Don't they look yummy!

Ooey-Gooey-Goodness!!
