EBN- Are you interested in making cookies for Christmas? Here are five kid-friendly cookies to make for Santa.
Reindeer Gingersnaps
Store-bought gingerbread mix makes this recipe really simple. Kids will also have fun using candy canes and other sweets to decorate.
Shortbread Cookie Animals
If your family is into “Great British Baking Show,” this recipe from fan-favorite Kim-Joy is a must-bake. A simple shortbread dough gets stirred together by hand and then tinted and decorated in different ways to make adorable pandas, cats and frogs, or also any other animal your little animals want to create.
Marbled Shortbread
Your mileage on this recipe may vary depending on the age and skill set of your children, but I can attest that they’ll be wowed by the colors in these kaleidoscope cookies, especially if they get to choose which tints you use. Perfection is not a thing here, so if your amateur bakers are game to get involved in putting together and rolling the multicolored logs, let them go for it. The cookies will look cool no matter what.
Cranberry Cat Kisses
Almonds and cranberries add texture, color and flavor to a simple sugar cookie. Once you dip the tops in melted chocolate, start decorating them with your choice of candy. This will make your cute cats.
