What is more American than a cookie?

We are cookie monsters in our house so this was a great recipe for us and lots of fun was had decorating them. We chose to make horses (a big thank you to Becs for her cutter), stars and round cookies.

I had grand plans to to decorate them with stars and stripes but time was very short this week and I ended up buying (!!!) icing. I am very cross with myself – I have never bought icing in my life and I’ll be honest I think it was harder to work with than homemade. The colour choice was also very limited so I have learnt a lesson there.

On the plus side the cookies were quick to make and the little ones enjoyed the icing pens, the chocolate stars and the glittery stars. Nom nom……
