Fifth floor common room - Saturday afternoon

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly had once again taken over the kitchen for cookie baking. This time it was for Christmas presents for her friends so she was only making a couple different kinds. Unlike the many varieties she'd made for the Thanksgiving dinner.

First on the list was a separate bowl of cookie dough just for her and Dawn to eat.

[[OOC: Post is open. Anybody who comes by will get Christmas cookies, but I may be slow to ping as I am seriously multi-tasking today. Please do stop by though. :D]]

Dawn bounced in, hair in a ponytail and wearing a pair of cotton pants and a loose sweater. "I am here and ready to help!" She announced.

"Yay!" Molly said as she added the chocolate chips to the special bowl of cookie dough. "If you want to mix this together, I'll start measuring ingredients for the first batch of sugar cookies. This is our bowl to eat out of."

Dawn picked up a wooden spoon and started stirring carefully. "How many different kinds of cookies are we making?"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"I'm just going to stick with two: chocolate chip and sugar cookies," Molly said. "That way, I don't have to worry about a lot of special ingredients and we can decorate the sugar ones to look pretty."

"Hello, Dawn," Evie said, looking over curiously. "No bananas?"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Um...no." Dawn was a little confused. "Should there be some in cookies?"

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

Evie shrugged her shoulders, and said, "They were delicious in the burritos. I wasn't sure if there was more experimentation involved." She took a perch on a stool to watch the proceedings. "Are you staying here for the rest of the break?"

Alec wandered through the common room, stopping when he noticed the preparations for cooking and people who were doing said cooking. "Hi! Making something?"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"Hi, Alec!" Molly said with a grin. "We're making cookies. Do you want to help decorate or would you just like to taste?"

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"I could do both," he said, watching with interest. "Just point me towards something."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly pointed at the table. "Those cookies should be cool enough to frost," she said. "You can decorate them however you like. We have the basic colors of frosting or you can mix your own. There's also colored sprinkles and things to put on the frosting."

Dawn waved a dough-covered spoon at Alec. "Hi!"

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"You're making cookies!" Alec grinned. "Having fun?"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"We are," Dawn grinned back, then offered over the bowl of eating dough. "Want some raw cookies? It's worth the salmonella risk."

Evie waved to Alec as she ate a cookie, then swallowed and said, "Merry early Christmas, Alec. I haven't seen you since the troll kidnapping."

Seely wandered into the common room. "Hey."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Seely!" Molly smiled. "You want some Christmas cookies?"

[socksofcool.livejournal.com]

"Molly," Seely grinned back. "Is the pope Catholic? I'd love some."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Dawn waved to Seely, but didn't greet him since she had a mouthful of cookie dough.

[socksofcool.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Dawn," Seely said. "Good cookies?"

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"Hey," Alec greeted, fingertips covered in green frosting, as well as having a smear of it on one cheek.

[socksofcool.livejournal.com]

"Having fun?" Seely asked.

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

Evie waved to Seely as she came into the room. "Hello, Seely. Cookie?" she offered, then looked over at the kitchen area. "Oh, they're baking some!"

[socksofcool.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Evie," Seely smiled through a mouthful of cookie. "Already got some."

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

Evie wandered in with cookies and candy, and plunked them down on the coffee table. "Merry Christmas! Lord, I'm glad I'm done packing."
