Cookie time

I was excited to show the boys how to paint Christmas cookies. It was something my mom always did with me and my sister’s growing up, and I remember it being fun. They each got to paint 6 cookies, and they were so excited to do it. The paint is an egg yolk with food coloring mixed in it. You paint the cookie cut out before baking it. I had to help them a little bit because the dough gets soft pretty quickly, which for Kale was tough because he isn’t quite familiar with not pressing hard on things when he paints! The cookies turned out great, and they are excited to leave them out for Santa. And as Kale reminded me, we also need to leave celery and carrots for the reindeer!
