Allison was very excited to help me make Easter cookies this year. Mark loves frosted sugar cookies and I don't make them very often because they are so much work. Mark was up close and personal for the process this year and decided they were definitely a lot of work. Of course the work is more fun when you have a 2-year-old ready to help every step of the way.
We made the cookie dough one day and wrapped it up and tucked it away in the fridge.
Then, the Saturday before Easter we baked the cookies and decorated them after dinner. I learned that it is best to give Allison a knife pre-loaded with frosting, that way she doesn't just keep adding more like she did on her first cookie (the one I took pictures of).
Of course she had to eat that first cookie!
Yum!
By the time we were done she was quite good at spreading frosting and we had lots of pretty cookies to share.
