So as with every holiday, I was all set to drive myself nuts with some festive cut-out cookies. Oh, how I hate them, but oh, how cute they are... well I was saved by the bright bulbs over at Nick Jr. television. They showed a bit between shows about making hand turkey cut-out cookies. Easy, cute, and lots of involvement from the kids! I hauled my stuff over to mom's to make a mess of HER kitchen and dining room :)
No pictures of making the dough, but believe me, there was a lot of taste testing going on! After trying literally dozens of cookie recipes, I have settled on a cream cheese cut-out that holds it's shape very well. So, cream cheese, butter, eggs, vanilla, sugar, flour - MMM!
So we paaaat it, rolllllll it...
(Did you see me rip off a little piece from the front there and eat it? No... no. Neither did I. Ahem... moving on.)
Have your super-enthusiastic kids trace their hands with a toothpick...
I added some little beaks on the turkeys, and roasted them! Bwahaha!
This is Bella. She really wishes this was one of my clumsy days, where I drop everything on the floor while I'm cooking :P Sorry Bella. Come back in 30 minutes when the dining room floor has been covered in sprinkles, and there is frosting wiped on the chairs.
Time to decorate! I told my boys to have at it with the sprinkles, and they took their job very seriously!
See? These kids don't mess around.
They were lots of fun to make, and the boys definitely enjoyed them. We made some pine cone turkeys yesterday, but I didn't have my camera handy. Still, I'll post some pictures of the finished product later on. Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving!
Gobble Gobble!
