Over the course of these two days we mixed the sugar cookie dough (new recipe this year from food.com), cut out and baked the cookies, and decorated the cookies. Every year I think making and decorating sugar cookies with the kids is going to be so much fun, and every year I'm reminded once we're in the midst of things how not-so-much-fun and time consuming it can be. They boys need to cut out and decorate 3-5 cookies and they're set...no need to do more. So I'm left to cut out and decorate the remaining cookies. And the 3-5 cookies they do decorate tend to be quite the ordeal...like Koen dumping half the bottle of sprinkles on one cookie or Tysen just eating the candy rather than using it for decoration. I suppose eating the candy should be part of the fun. :) One of my frustrations each year is the frosting...if you have a recipe for decorative frosting that doesn't drip and run everywhere I would love to have it!!! It always hardens just fine, but it runs all over the place first (see picture above).
Eating the cookies, of course, is the best part of the whole process for the boys. With all the other delectable cookie choices, they ALWAYS pick a sugar cookie.
