A week before Christmas the girls and I set out to make salt cookie dough ornaments to adorn all the gifts for their grandparents. I had seen this idea several times before, but this was our first attempt. I have to say, that I enjoyed salt cookie dough way more than real cookies - much less nagging to stop eating the dough :) The girls happily rolled out their dough below.
After several LONG hours of baking and cooling, the ornaments were ready for decoration. In retrospect I would advise doing the rolling/cutting one day, and the decorating the next. Even I thought the cookies would never be ready - you can only imagine how the kiddos felt!
We had just received a whole set of new paints for a birthday present several days earlier - so this was the perfect time to put them to good use. The girls had a great time picking just the right ornament for their loved ones and carefully crafting it for them. Definitely a successful project!
