The stores always have such fun displays with cookie cutters and colored sprinkles for every holiday. Then there are websites like Flour box Bakery that I follow on facebook that make cookies take on a whole new look. And for some reason I always think it will be so fun to decorate cookies with the boys.
I actually bought some fun cookie cutter shapes like a football, a tie and a dog bone. So I would have something to chose from besides bunnies, candy canes and pumpkins. I wanted to have a superbowl party (That will be the next post), but life had other plans for me so we made football cookies for us.
I must admit that sugar cookies are labor intensive. The dough has to be chilled. Then you have to roll it out. After baking the cookies have to cool and then you make frosting. Then there is the clean up of all those cookie cutters and bowls used for different colors of frosting.
My crew is getting much better at participating in the cookie making process. It is all about the sprinkles. That is what they love the most.
One thing I did learn. They say that everyone loves cookies and throwing in a little whole wheat flour that no one will notice. Well I am sorry, but I love the soft texture of sugar cookies. Whole wheat flour is not well disguised in this kind of cookie. Perhaps chocolate is needed to disguise whole wheat flour.
Anyway a good time was had by all making cookies.
