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."

"Oooh, frosting!" Amazingly, Dawn hadn't had any sugar or caffeine yet--she was just that big of a dork.

Molly grinned and nodded. "I have food coloring so we can make any colors we want. I figure, if the shapes are Christmasy, we can do whatever we want with the colors."

"You may regret telling me that," Dawn said, already thinking that fuschia would be pretty.

Molly giggled and leaned closer. "I'm going to make zombie reindeer," she confided quietly.

"Oooh, then we need to make gray," Dawn hoped she remembered, and pondered vampire angels. "With maybe a little green, for authenticity."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"That was the plan," Molly said with a grin as she started to mix up the ingredients for the first batch of cookies.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"I knew there was a reason I liked you," Dawn said, as she finished stirring. "What next?"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"This next step is very important."

Molly stopped what she was doing and pulled two spoons out of the silverware drawer. Handing one to Dawn, she scooped a little bit of cookie dough out of the bowl Dawn had mixed together and ate it with a grin.

Dawn took her spoon, scooped up some cookie dough, and tasted it, making thoughtful faces. "I find this more than acceptable."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly chuckled. "Now that that is done, you can either start mixing up the chocolate cookies were actually going to bake or you can finish stirring the sugar cookies and roll them out so that we can cut them into shapes."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"I guess I'll keep mixing, if you want?" Dawn said. "I always end up with dough all over the rolling pin and flour in my hair."

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]

"Okay," Molly said. "The recipe is right over there next to the chocolate chips." She pointed over to the table.

[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?"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Dawn looked the recipe over, relieved when it didn't seem that tough. "A measuring I will go, a measuring I will go..." Her search for things was definitely helped by Molly having already made a batch of dough.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

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

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly finished stirring the sugar cookies an then cleared a space to roll them out.

"So, what are you guys doing for Christmas on Monday?"

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

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

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

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

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Not completely sure yet," Dawn watched Molly work for a minute or two, then beginning to measure out the flour. "There's talk of a pool party, but there's also the movies and chinese food route, plus, I assume Sam and Dean'll want to spend time with their dad." And Zoe, but she didn't say that, because omg, secret.

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