COOKIES!!!




My kids new favorite thing to do. Make cookies!!! They have always loved it, but I learned a new way to make icing and so they LOVE it even more. We use royal icing that dries hard. Then they are easier to store and go great stacked in a bag. We put the icing on with little bottles. The pictures will help it to make more sense. We made some cookies last week for St. Patty's Day and Addison helped me the entire time and she was sad when the cookies were gone. She asked if we could make more. Parker asked if we could do them like this all the time. It makes it much more fun for the kids. I felt like all they did was make a mess with frosting and then play with sprinkles when we did it the other way. Now the mess is minimal and they LOVE it, so why not? Here is some more info about these cookies if you are interested. They are kind of addicting. Once you get a system down it does not take very long to get things set up. Plus we can make the cookies one day and do the frosting the next. They are looking forward to Easter, I told them we could make them again when it gets closer.
