4th of July Cookies

The kids and I tried our hands at cookies we saw made by Martha on the Today Show last week. While she made everything from scratch, we went the ghetto way out: break and bake sugar cookies, pre-made white frosting, and blue/red decorating gel.

For our first attempt I must say we rocked it!

I put the white frosting on the cookies.


We put either a blue or red dot in the middle and then made concentric circles.


Next we took a toothpick/skewer and pulled it from the center out.





Look how fun they turned out!


and they were good too boot!


Surprisingly they weren't hard with all our pre-made ingredients and Drew didn't have one single meltdown from frustration.
