Crafts and cookies

For craft day this week we painted glass ornament bulbs with glitter glue and tied stretchy plastic string through to hang them up.
Then we whipped up a batch of playdough and played around with cookie cutters and flour, like we were making actual cookies. A few of these treasures we attempted to dry out in the oven to make as playdough ornaments. I say attempted, because a few of them kind of exploded in the oven after I forgot I left them in there. hahaha

Then today, we had some other friends over and we made the most scrumptious batch of gingerbread cookies with royal icing ever!

after making a delightful mess in the kitchen/house, we went outside to burn off some of the sugar energy and Jade's friend, Tyler, let her try out his super cool "Toy Story" bike. However, this is a posed shot...she didn't actually pedal with it:) we are still working on getting her to ride the pink tricycle in the background. hahaha

What was your opinion of the royal icing? Was it easy to work with and does it taste good? ~Jan

Jan, the icing was really yummy! Per a comment someone left on the recipe, I did add an extra cup (or two) of powdered sugar, then what the original recipe stated. But it hardened up nicely and my cookies look and taste great!
