Hi Sister!! I am so excited to be posting on our blog again! I can't believe how much time has passed by ... Lucy was a newborn when we started this, and now she is 2 years old! Egads, but time flies when you're a mama. Thank you for getting us going again.So, Megan and I have been doing lots of crafty-cooking together in the kitchen lately, especially during Lucy's afternoon nap. It is so much fun, sister! Often, we are just trying to find something to do, and we happen to find an interesting recipe on the back of a box or something. The recipe for Strawberry Shortcakes on the Bisquick Box was the inspiration for this activity. Long story short, but I ended up making up this Alphabet Cookie recipe/activity using the Bisquick box as a starting point. I know Jack & Maddie with love doing this with you - they are the perfect age!
The dough should be very easy to roll, so if it comes out too sticky, just add more Bisquick until it feels right. They can roll out the letters in their names, roll out the alphabet, make faces, shapes, balls, numbers - whatever! What fun to have preschoolers in our kitchens :))
You will need a box of BISQUICK! The kids can measure the dry ingredients, pour & mix it together. Get ready for a messy kitchen, though ;)
STIR: 2 1/3 cups Original Bisquick Mix, 2/3 cup milk, 3 tbsp melted butter, 5 tbsp sugar & 2 tbsp cinnamon (add more sugar & cinnamon to taste). Stir until dough forms, then use hands to knead it together. Add more Bisquick mix if it's too sticky to roll out. Dough should be very easy to handle.
ROLL out letters, shapes, whatever the kids like, and place their creations onto a cookie sheet.
SPRINKLE with extra sugar, sprinkles, & cinnamon.
BAKE 10 minutes or until golden brown in oven at 425 degrees.
EAT!! LAUGH!! ENJOY!!
