Super Cookies


We were going to a Super Bowl party so we needed to make something to take with us. So we made cookies. The footballs are just the rice crispy treats made with cocoa crispies and shaped into football shapes, with white frosting for the lacing.




Then we made some sugar cookies too. This is rolling out the dough and cutting the helmet shapes.


Baked cookies.


And frosted cookies. Some team logos are way harder to do in frosting than other team logos. But it all tastes good, and that's what really counts.

Gingerbread cookies


First you find a helper who's in a good mood. Then you get out all the stuff, and bake up some cookies!



Rolled Ginger Cookies:

5 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground clove
1 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup molasses
2 tbsp vinegar

Stir together flour, soda, spices and 1/2 tsp salt. Beat shortening for 30 seconds. Add sugar, beat until fluffy. Add egg, molasses and vinegar; beat well. Add dry ingredients to beaten mixture, beating well. Cover and chill for 3 hours or overnight. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a cookie sheet. Divide dough into thirds. Roll each third to 1/4 inch thick. Cut into desired shapes and place one inch apart on greased cookie sheet. Cook for 5-6 minutes. Cool 1 minute on pan, then remove to wire rack. When completely cool you can decorate with frosting or candies or just eat them before there are none left.
