For the love of cookies!
On Monday, I hosted my second Drop In & Decorate party. The idea is simple: decorate sugar cookies, then donate them to a local non-profit agency.
My sous-chefs helped me prep our sugar cookies. I had 5 other moms baking for me and in total we had 18 dozen cookies to decorate!
The moms and kids were invited to drop in during the day and decorate for as long as they liked.
Molly enjoyed using a rainbow of colors on all her cookies.
Leah and I worked together to decorate.
Adding sprinkles was a must. And even now that I have swept the floors three times, those sprinkles keep showing up!
It was fun to watch and see what each of the kids created.
Even the moms got into the decorating spirit.
Lots of giggles and laughter came from this table!
The kids were allowed to eat one cookie after they finished decorating. Apparently, the full plate of sprinkles were part of the deal too.
Here's a sample of the decorated cookies.
In the end, thirty moms and kids decorated approximately 200 cookies to donate to Grassroots Crisis Intervention Center.
Thank you to all of my cookie volunteers for making our party such a huge success!
Wow! Beautiful cookies. The kids look like they had lots of fun.
Wow – such fun and a wonderful way to share love with cookies! I know the center truly appreciated your baking and decorating efforts! Go moms and kids!
Great job! What a good way to have both fun and help out others. Molly & Leah, all your friends did an excellent job with the decorating. The cookies look delicious. Grampa.
