Handmade Christmas: Day 5

Cut Out Sugar Cookies are a must around here every December!

My parents came out to watch the kids and they cut out the cookies together.

I frosted them with the kids 3 days later.

They still taste great!
Don't forget to wash your hands!
Here is our action plan:
1) I pipe out thick butter cream frosting to outline the cookies. Let is harden at least 4hours.

2) We mix a little confectioners sugar with a tiny bit of milk. Add desired food coloring.

3) Each kid chooses what they want to decorate... all the bells, trees, snowmen etc.

4) They fill it in with a spoon and spread with the backside of the spoon. It is like painting or coloring for them and they love it! Even Cora can help!

5) Last but not least..... lick the frosting bowls!
