Cooking With Kids: Cookie Ornaments #LMDConnector
Nothing beats a good old fashioned sugar cookie. My kids and I love to bake and so when we were asked to pick a recipe from the Life Made Delicious web site it wasn’t too hard to settle on something sweet for a treat at this time of year. We found ornament sugar cookies and I made them easily with my kids as a holiday treat.
Start with a package of these sugar cookies and add what they tell you to on the package. If you don’t have the package itself, then you can easily duplicate from the Life Made Delicious site. Now, admittedly ours look a little different than the perfect specimens on the site here, but we had fun, as usual, in the kitchen and let me tell you these were outrageously good.
The hardest part of these cookies was attaching the candy cane hooks and breaking the candy canes just right to get the hooks to use. The Life Made Delicious site suggest breaking them in the package with scissors. They are kind of hard to break otherwise and they crumble easily. So 8-10 minutes of baking in, you pull the treats out and insert the candy cane hook in the top. Then return to oven to cook. Let cool and ice with your own icing. I make mine with icing sugar, margarine and hot water. Then decorate as you wish. These are durable enough to hang, if they last that long. Also we discovered these little candy cane hangers are just right for kid’s tiny chubby fingers.
Disclosure: I am part of the Life Made Delicious blogger program and also an #LMDConnector and as such I received compensation for this post. My opinion is all my own.

An intгiguing diѕcussiοn іѕ worth comment.
There’s no doubt that that you should write more about this subject, it might not be a taboo matter but typically people do not discuss such issues. To the next! All the best!!

Cute! My mother in law used this type of cookie mix to make quick and easy sugar cookies for decorating with my 6 year old niece 🙂

Cheap Is The *New* Classy
My cousin has homemade cookie ornaments on her tree, but I didn’t inspect them close enough to see if they were done the same way. How cute.

Those would never last as ornaments in my house. The kids would eat them all up.

I have been browsing online more than 3 hours these days, yet I by
no means discovered any attention-grabbing article like yours.
It is lovely value enough for me. In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers
made good content material as you did, the internet will be
a lot more helpful than ever before.
