Pinterest Inspiration

I spend an inordinate amount of time on Pinterest.  I mostly use it for finding and storing recipes.  I usually make one or two pinterest meals/desserts per week.  Last week Ainsley and I made cookies inspired by a Pinterest pin. 

The inspiring pin. 

We don't get too serious about Pinterest ideas in this house.  I didn't even open the link to find a recipe or anything.  We just decided to make sugar cookies and dye some sugar with food coloring.  

 

Serious stirring of food coloring and sugar. 

After rolling the sugar cookies in the sugar, Ainsley couldn't resist playing in the sugar just a little.  I should warn you not to actually eat the food at my house.  It's probably been contaminated by germy, little hands. 

We never cut the petals into the cookies.  We were distracted by a hungry 1 month old. 

Ready to go in the oven. 

They aren't overly pretty, but Ainsley had a great time cooking! 

We offered a cookie to cousin Sara when she came to visit.  She politely ate one, regardless of their taste, looks, and germs.  She even gave horsey rides to the kids.  Love my family!
