Since Sunday was the 10th of the month I'm sharing ten pictures I took that day. I was struggling a little bit during the day trying to figure out what to take pictures of and then, inspired by an Instagram account I follow, we decided to attempt making stained glass cookies. Then we took about thirty pictures in half an hour -- haha! So you can follow along with our stained glass cookie making adventure.
The first task was to peel all the Jolly Rancher candies and sort them by colour.
Rachel enjoyed smashing them into bits with a hammer.
After the dough was chilled, we set up to make cookies on the table.
We found the dough rolled out best between two pieces of parchment paper.
Rachel and Sam filling in the holes of the cookies with crushed Jolly Rancher pieces.
The first tray of cookies is ready to bake.
Once the Jolly Rancher pieces melted, they bubbled away and it was fun to watch!

This was a really fun craft/cookie to make. You can eat them as well but only the kids were interested in that! If you think this is something you want to try, let me know and I can share the recipe we used, along with a couple of things we learned along the way.
That is so cool! Love how the look in the window!
ReplyDeleteI am impressed with these cookies! Well done.
ReplyDeleteThey were so fun to make. Even Sam, who isn't all that crafty, got into it!
DeleteWhat kind of dough did you use? This is really cute, and I think the girls would LOVE to try it!
