Carter found a box of dinosaur cookie cutters when we were unpacking boxes a few weeks ago. He's been begging to make cookies since then. There was no preschool today because of Presidents' Day, so I decide it was the perfect day to make cookies.
I pre-made the dough last night after the boys went to bed using this recipe. I knew they wouldn't be patient enough to wait for it to chill. I would highly recommend this recipe because it wasn't a sticky mess like some sugar cookie recipes tend to be. The boys took turns helping me roll out the dough and cutting out the cookies. While the cookies baked, the boys took a break to go play. After lunch we decorated the cookies. I adapted my frosting from this recipe, using butter instead of corn oil and doubling the milk to make the frosting easier to spread. The only thing I would do differently next time is to give Jack his own small frosting bowls because the knives kept ending up in his mouth. The boys loved it!
