For my daughter’s third birthday, we celebrated with her friends from her Montessori school classroom.
I really wanted to incorporate Charlotte’s new found love of cooking into her goody bags. So, after much trial and error hahaha, we FINALLY found a recipe she liked! (My daughter, you guys, is one tough critic.)
What I liked about making these cookies was how easy this recipe was to follow! I found that by really letting the dough cool in the refrigerator, it was easier for my daughter to manipulate.
I also realized that by flouring my rolling pin, the dough didn’t stick to it!
Here is where we found the original recipe.
I hope you can enjoy these cookies as much as we did!
