Cooking Games and Cookies


There are so many lovely types of cookies out there it’s hard to pick a favorite. But with the many varieties of cookies, one of the most delicious varieties has to be the frosted sugar cookie. Loaded with sugar and often covered with sprinkles of designs, the frosted sugar cookies are very special treats and are incredibly easy to make.

Start with a pack of sugar cookie dough – I prefer the preformed balls as they cook so uniformly, but other dough forms will do. Make the sugar cookies and then, while they are cooling, start mixing your icing. You’ll want at least two different colors of icing to complement each other – one can be vanilla and a bit of food coloring will make another shade for you.

Spread a thick layer of icing over the top of the first cookie and put it aside. Then frost another and so on, being sure to get a thick layer of frosting evenly over each. When you finish the last cookie, go back to the first and start decorating with your colored frosting. Make designs, circle each, draw pictures or anything that makes you smile – after all cookies should absolutely make you happy.
