we made sugar cookies the other day and decorated with meringue frosting. i had a hard time letting go and relinquishing control to my 3 year old when decorating. but after frosting and sprinking a few, he was more interested in eating rather than the work. yay! we got the best of both worlds- i could add my "finishing touches" and reed was able to be involved without me grabbing the piping bag from him each time.
we made this dough from the martha stewart "cookie" issue for sugar cutouts. recipe here. i am also big into versatile doughs- where you can make many "different" cookies from one dough- hence the addition of thumbprints below.
*just double the sugar cookie batch* roll some into little balls* dip in beaten egg yolk* roll in chopped pecans* then squish a little chocolate disc or jam into the center... voila!*
here's the little treat bag for our friends and neighbors
ashley, this is simply delightful! :-))) huge thanks to dirk for telling me about it ~ you're an amazing artist, in all sorts of expression ~ and you inspire me with your sense of wonder and perpetual delight in what the Lord puts into our lives to enrich us. blessings on your creative head!
