This week for Takeaway Tuesday and What's Cookin' Wednesday we made Sea Life Cookies! Beau loved this because, duh, cookies!
I was lazy and just bought the remade sugar cookie dough. It was super easy and tasted just as delicious. I rolled it out and let Beau stamp in the cookie cutters.
We had two types of fish and a duck. I know a duck doesn't really go with the whole sea life theme, but it was really cute so we threw it in there.
While we let the cookies cool after baking, I made Royal Icing. Beau put in the food coloring and mixed it up. Then he lathered it on!
After he got tired (which was in about 2 minutes) I finished them off. I secretly enjoy doodling and had a lot of fun decorating these. And they sure were delicious. We ate most of them while watching "Finding Nemo" because we felt that movie was appropriate.
If you're on a diet or don't want your kids to splurge with so much sugar, consider sharing them with a public worker (mailman, garbage men, etc). Your kids will takeaway that doing nice things for other people is a great way to give back to your community! We will try that next time, but since I'm pregnant and eating for two, I needed the cookies.
