Snowman Sugar Cookies…yes, please! Who doesn’t love to decorate cookies? The answer…no one! Everyone loves to decorate cookies and then, the best part, eat them!! These Snowman Sugar cookies make a great craft with kids for Christmas and then an even better treat to enjoy later!
Food art or edible crafts are my total jam! People often ask what I blog about and I usually give two answers. One is I love to make cute things out of food. The other is that I am a Food Crafter. Either way, the bottom line is that I love to play with my food!
It is always fun to find an easy craft for kids, especially during the holiday school break. As much as we love a break from school, sometimes we can be searching for things to do!
If the weather is not ideal for playing in the snow, we are sometimes stuck inside all day. So crafts and games are super needed! (check out my post on great indoor activities for kids…these have saved me!)
So stuck inside or not, these cookies are a must for the holiday season. They are perfect for a Christmas Cookie Swap too! Grab a cute holiday tin here and your neighbors Christmas gift is done! Not to mention, just the aroma of cookies in the oven make everyone in a great mood!
