[It's a small world]

Yesterday with my own 2 boys (6 & 2) and mindee (2) we made Jammy Drops (like a buttery , vanilla biscuit with gooey jam centre ( similar to shortbread)

Today just my two and we made 'Moon Rocks' similar to above (shortbread biscuit) but with a cocunut flavour instead of vanilla flavour and jam centre.

Now what to bake tomorrow mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
