Valentine's Cookies- delayed

I really wanted to make cutout sugar cookies today with the kids. We have so many fun Valentine's cookie cutters and they love the little rolling pins. But many of the kids have a really fun cold- coughing, sneezing, and runny noses. So rather then have inedible cookies, I think we will wait. There is no school on Monday (President's Day) so if everyone is feeling better- we'll do them then & the big kids could help!

The decorating process is a lot of fun too- it turns into an art project. I make the powdered sugar frosting a little thinner and we use paint brushes to frost the cookies. They turn out like little paintings. Then they thoroughly coat them with sprinkles so you can't see any of the frosting but we try and encourage them to do a few without the sprinkles!

Happy Valentine's Day!
