New Cooking Adventures

Awhile back my friend blogged about making these fun cookies decorated with royal icing. I am up for a challenge and they looked so good. After all the birthday party sweet treats in February, I was needing a break from having all that sugar in my house. It is really hard for me to say no!

Since Easter is here, I thought it would be fun to make some spring cookies and let LilE help. I didn't even think to take pictures of her helping me. But she really did. She is one great egg cracker! She also enjoyed getting to cut the cookies in the shape of her choice.

The icing was rather intimidating, but I enjoyed the challenge. I think they turned out really well for my first attempt. And I learned a couple of things along the way: no more than two designs at a time and you really don't need 5 colors of icing!

Can't wait to try them again! (And learn how to take better pictures of food.)

Then we got fancy.
