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:
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Right before the party begins, divide M&M’S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies between several plastic cups. Divide the frosting in the same way.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
Makes 8 cookies.
