Decorating Easter Cookies

Dear Reader,

First of all, I have no intention of these cookies making it until Easter. In fact, most of them were eaten by the end of the night. But We all just needed something fun to do. So we busted out some spring sprinkles, I whipped up some frosting, and some cookies, and we all just sat at the table.

I put a dab of frosting on everyone’s cookies and piled sprinkles on their plates and passed out plastic spoons. By putting the frosting in a dollop I kept from cross-contamination when my toddlers licked their spoons. Because that happened. And all the sprinkles were unceremoniously dumped on top. But I didn’t care. I wasn’t giving them to anyone but the designers, so it worked for me. I feel like usually when we make cookies, they’re going to someone and I cringe at all the sprinkles or the lumpy frosting. It was fun to just let them play. I wish I could say they ate all their cookies… But they ate the frosting and the sprinkles and I ended up throwing licked-clean cookies away after I sent them to bed.
