We were supposed to make the Valentine cookies yesterday, but we got distracted by Lego Rockband. Alex loves baking and so it wasn't hard to convince him to give up cartoons today.
They were basic cut out sugar cookies. Used one of the recipes from allrecipes.com (contributed by Laria Tabul). This recipe was different because it used confectioners' sugar instead of granulated. Although very tasty I don't recommend it because the cookies were too crumbly and it was hard to get good shapes.
The recipe called for pink frosting, but I filled them with apricot jam and decorated some of them with sanding sugar.
In other news, I hate making pockets.
Alex is such a cutie!! He looks so much like you!
ReplyDeletePockets are still a pain for me, but the kids like them so much! At least you get them over with early on, then you get to move on to the fun part!
