Many times, my cookies revolve around my life, and my kids.
When it’s Johnny Appleseed at school, we need apples with seeds.
When it’s a Harvest party (two days) I need ___________ cookies.
{I haven’t decided what to make yet!}
But I often make cookies for other occasions, and my kids have developed quite a sense of self-control around a table full of cookies. They know when they are off limits from all of the cookie-policing I do. (They do get to dig in when I have a mess-up though).
But when the cookies are made especially for them, they guard the table themselves, saying, “NO! These are for my class!” I love making cookies for my kids. A class party is one of the best reasons to make cookies! And Johnny Appleseed day was no different.
To make these, I used medium consistency (10ish seconds) red, made an outline and let it dry for several hours. Then I used a medium consistency white and immediately dropped black dots on the wet white. Then I took a toothpick to drag a point out on that black dot…so it looked like a seed! For the leaf, I used a stiff consistency and a leaf tip.
