Watermelon Cookies Part 2

Okay, after a couple days of the dough chillin' in the fridge my little cook and I finally had a chance to finish the cookies. It helped that Daddy was there to keep the baby company. First we had to get the dough a chance to warm up a bit and then we could roll the white part of the dough into a rectangle, then we placed the red dough (in a log shape) on the plain rectangle and rolled it up. Then we had to take the green dough and roll it out to a slightly larger rectangle to place the log of dough into.
One thing we learned while making these cookies is that sleep deprivation makes for a confused chef. I read the recipe incorrectly and we should have refrigerated the dough overnight after this process - however, we pressed on and let this dough chill before slicing.
I didn't get a picture of the slicing of the cookies, mainly because Kirah's hands were too greasy to hold my camera and I couldn't slice and take a picture at the same time...
But after slicing, we started the decoration with small chopped up raisins and sesame seeds to simulate the watermelon seeds.
Ack! I just noticed my knife perilously close to the edge of the counter. Not the best mom/chef move!

Waiting for the cookies to bake...
Here they are fresh out of the oven,
And Kirah presenting her amazing cookies,
And serving them to Daddy,
And the results,

Those are really cool cookies. How did they taste? Your daughter will remember this time with you for a long time. Talk about making memories.
