Kids! I love when my kids want to help! Big ones, little ones! They like it when they get to eat the cookies and I get to clean up!!
Measuring devices, cups and spoons!
And of course the best loved paddle attached to my black Kitchen Aid mixer! I got this mixer a about 4 years ago when my hubby worked at Boeing. They gave him safety points for helping create a tool to build the planes. Then they gave him a layoff notice, he was one of the 10,000 canned. Okay enough of that depressing time. I want to get the bigger one in red. I buy a lot of kitchen stuff in red! It's just a bold color. Power.
There's more! Now all the ingredients are tools too! Must haves for cookies, flour, sugar, powdered sugar!
I'm not using my usual recipe for these sugar cookies. I wanted to try something different! I hope they are just as yummy! This is the cookbook I used for the sugar cookies!
I love this cookbook! So many delicious recipes in it! I have their newest ones too. I bought this one at Costco before we moved two summers ago.
Here's our cookies!
Somewhere on pintrest I read to use jello for coloring the frosting. It didn't have directions so I melted about a tablespoon of butter and added about 1/4 of a teaspoon of jello. The jello pretty much dissolved! I used a few more tablespoons of butter, a dash of milk, and 1-2 cups of powdered sugar (depends on the consistency you desire it). Mix well.
A close up of these yummy cookies!
We made these too! They didn't last long! We made more chocolate chip cookies that I shared with you last week. Those are gone too! I have heart shaped pans I am going to dig out to make some other things with!
I hope you all had a great weekend.
What are your favorite cookies?
