The kids wanted to make sugar cookies for Easter this year. First we prepared by practicing with the cookie cutters and play dough. Then we mixed up a batch of cookie dough. We chilled it overnight in the fridge and then cut out and decorated the cookies for Easter.
They did very well at cutting out the shapes. Even though we dipped the cutters in flour, they still got stuck as the dough got warmer. When the dough does get stuck in them, they learned to shake it so it flies out or lift up a corner with a toothpick and gently pull it out. The boys learned what happens when you place the cookies too close on the cookie sheet- they stick together as they expand in the oven. I learned to let them decorate the cookies how they want to and not how I wanted them too. See their "layering technique". And they told me orange was an Easter color. I have the sugar cookie recipe typed out in an earlier post.
