Today I had a young visitor for the afternoon and this lovely young lady insisted that we bake something!  So Frosted Sugar Cookies were definitely in order. So while her Mom did her shopping, Ella and I were very busy decorating cookies.  I was only allowed to put the frosting on while Ella was in charge of sprinkles.  Now when a 7 yr old little girl is put in charge of sprinkles you can only guess what happened….SPRINKLES EVERYWHERE!!!

There were many bottles of sprinkles retrieved from the cupboard and it was determined that the thicker the layer of sprinkles, the better the cookies would taste. Sprinkles should also be combined in as many colour combinations as possible, just in case you were wondering. Those little hands could sure move fast…she was sprinkling as fast as I could spread the frosting.

Now I have posted these Frosted Sugar Cookies before, but they definitely have their party clothes on today. Click here to get the recipe. Today I added some lime zest along with the lemon zest and they were definitely fruity. Also the icing was coloured with a 2 crushed raspberries- nice natural colouring.

So I hope you enjoyed our Saturday afternoon art work, we sure had fun!
