CHILD-PROOF SUGAR COOKIES



Child-Proof Sugar Cookies image

This recipe is great for first time cookie makers and kindergartners. They are easy and lots of fun. The children in my classes have never messed up a batch of these cookies in the fourteen years I've been teaching kindergarten, and neither have my four adorable children. You can use whole wheat flour in place of the all-purpose flour, if you wish.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sugar cookie recipe. For child-proof sugar cookies, look for a recipe that is simple to follow, uses basic ingredients, and doesn't require any special equipment.
  • Make sure your ingredients are fresh. Fresh ingredients will help your cookies turn out light and fluffy.
  • Chill your dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature. The temperature of your oven will affect the texture of your cookies. For chewy cookies, bake them at a lower temperature. For crispier cookies, bake them at a higher temperature.
  • Don't overcook the cookies. Overcooked cookies will be dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies just until they are set around the edges and the centers are still slightly soft.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before decorating. This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make child-proof sugar cookies that are both delicious and safe for your little ones to enjoy. These cookies are a great way to get kids involved in the kitchen and make lasting memories. So next time you're looking for a fun and easy baking project, give these child-proof sugar cookies a try.
