Making Memories With Cookies

Maybe it was the rainy weather or the fact that Easter Sunday is just a week away, but I felt the need to make some Easter cut out sugar cookies today after church.  One of my favorite Easter memories from when I was a little girl was making Easter bonnet cookies using a round sugar cookie and a marshmallow for the top part of the hat and then decorating the cookie and marshmallow with frosting bows.

The boys didn't seem much interested in making the cookies as I was whipping them together, but when they saw me roll the dough out and then retrieve the cookie cutters from the drawer, they were all in!  "Mom, can I cut out some cookies?"  "Mom, I want to help you!"  Apparently the fun shapes and colors of the cookie cutters got their attention!




We used some pretty special tools to make our cookies today, too.  The little circular board I rolled the dough out belonged to my Grandma Bell.  She used to make kolache and breads on this and my heart just swelled seeing the boys making creations on it just as my sister and I used to do when we were with Grandma.  One of the bunny cookie cutters belonged to Kris' Grandma Malphy and those type of cookie cutters aren't even made anymore.  I'm going to make the Easter bonnet cookies I talked about above later this week when we decorate our cookies and I used Grandma Malphy's round biscuit cutter to make the circular cut outs.


We had a very fun time making the cookies today.  This is something I enjoy doing and the boys really do, too.  We're looking forward to decorating our cookies later this week.  I'm hoping the boys will have wonderful memories of making cookies with me when they're my age.
