I don’t want to brag, but I can make a pretty awesome chocolate chip cookie. The recipe has become second nature to me; I can whip up a batch before my oven is even finished preheating. Unfortunately for the rest of the family, chocolate chip is the only cookie I make. And while delicious (and my favorite!), I knew it was time to expand my horizons when the boys peeked at my Pinterest boards and asked, “Can we try some of those sometime?”.
The Cookie Project was born.
For the first installment, I knew I wanted to choose a sugar cookie recipe. D is always asking for “a cookie without chocolate in it” and I wanted to surprise him. So Sophie and I put our hair up and got to work!
We used alphabet cookie cutters (similar to these) and the kids were insanely excited to find their names on the cooling racks. I plan to use this recipe again soon and combine it with D’s kindergarten reading. I think he’ll love “writing” words in cookie.
THE RECIPE
The recipe I used is from Katrina at In Katrina’s Kitchen. I followed her directions exactly, only omitting the almond extract because I was out. Still good. You can find her recipe here. Be warned, though. Her website is full of amazing things!
ahhh, I totally want to make alphabet cookies now! So cute! 🙂

Aren't they?! So glad I have a kindergartener as an excuse to make them again soon!
