February Cookies

February is not my favorite month. Christmas is over, my kids are continually sick, the excitement of new snow is long forgotten, and yet it continues to be a freezing tundra up here in the northern most part of Utah! Spring is still a distant thought. . . a thought in the back of my mind that I don't dare think about too much in fear of getting my hopes up.

So I decided I needed to do something to break myself (and my stir-crazy kids) out of our rut. I busted out the kitchen-aid, the flour, and my massive collection of sprinkles for a day of fun in sugar cookie land. It just doesn't seem like Valentines without them. . . growing up we never celebrated a holiday, especially Valentines Day, without my mom making sugar cookies. I have now realized that she had a lot more energy than me and can appreciate her even more for it!




The boys each invited a friend and had so much fun using their creative energy to figure out just how to fit the most sprinkles, sugar-sparkles, frosting and m&m's onto each cookie. They turned out just lovely. . . and might even taste good if you dare to dig through that sugar-fest to find the hidden cookie beneath.
