Left over monster
This little guy did not make it to the Nestle Baking Competition. He got the most votes from my boys. However, I realized that they were more interested in the chocolate eyeballs than design. Oh well. Chocolate is everything.

"A" is for Apple
Preschoolers ROCK!
Thursday was "A" day in Rub's preschool class. Each week they bring a show-and-tell item that begins with the letter of the week. Rub was not satisfied with any toy or item I proposed. EVERYONE was bringing an airplane or alligator. When in a pinch, I ALWAYS turn to baking. So, I recommended making apple cookies. He was all over it.
I mixed the dough. (My mother’s sugar cookie recipe – thanks Mom!) Rub helped to roll it out and proved to be very good at using a cookie cutter. He even made sure to place the cutter on the edge to save space and conserve dough.
Contemplating frosting, I asked if he wanted red or green apples. He said, "We'd better do green, because, green apples taste better than red ones." When I added the green food coloring he actually giggled.
I wanted to frost them to look like an apple that had been cut in half, but when I finished the first one, Rub said it didn't look like an apple... Oh well, I included it in the picture anyway in case your kids are less picky.
Picky or not, I had one happy Rub bounding up the steps to school with a basket full of apple cookies.
