Cookie Canvas
Let kids get creative with this yummy cookie creation!
Prep time: 25 min.
Activity time: 30 min.
Difficulty: Easy
What you'll need:
- 4 rolls refrigerated sugar cookie dough
- 2 2/3 cups flour
- 3 large bags M&M’S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies
- 4 16-oz. cans white frosting
- Plastic tablecloth
- Masking tape
- 1 sleeve 10-oz. plastic cups
- 8 craft sticks
What to do:
- Bake the cookies several days in advance of the party. One at a time, knead 2/3 cup flour into each roll of cookie dough. Roll out the dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut two cookies out of each roll, each cookie approximately 8 x 10 inches. Then, place these "cookie canvases" on baking sheets.
- Bake one sheet at a time in a preheated 350-degree oven for approximately 25 minutes, or until each cookie is golden brown and baked in the center. Set the cookies aside until the party.
- Right before the party begins, divide M&M’S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies between several plastic cups. Divide the frosting in the same way.
- Cover the table with a plastic tablecloth, securing it with masking tape. Arrange the cups of candy, frosting and craft sticks in the table’s center. Place one cookie at each child’s station.
- Have each child "paint" their cookie as they like, using a craft stick as the spreader. You might challenge them by having them incorporate all the M&M’S® Brand colors in their paintings!
