Okay, so, I tried my hand at making those “back to school cookies” everyone’s been talking about. I’m no pro baker, but I gotta say, it was a pretty fun experience!
First off, I gathered all my ingredients. I made sure I had all I need such as flour, sugar, eggs, butter – you know, the usual cookie stuff. I also got some food coloring and sprinkles, because who doesn’t love a colorful cookie?
I started by mixing the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet ingredients in another. This part was easy, just following the recipe I found. Then, I slowly mixed the wet ingredients into the dry ones. I had to be careful not to overmix, I’ve made that mistake before, the cookies turned out tough.
- Combine the dry ingredients
- Mix the wet ingredients in a separate bowl
- Combine the wet and dry mixtures
- Roll into balls and flatten
- Bake in the oven
Once the dough was ready, it was time for the fun part – shaping the cookies! I used some cookie cutters I had, shapes like stars and hearts. I even tried to make some apple shapes freehand, but let’s just say they looked more like blobs.
Next, I preheated the oven and popped the cookies in. While they were baking, I got the frosting ready. I used some basic icing and added different food coloring to make it more fun. I also got the sprinkles ready – can’t forget those!
After about 10 minutes, the cookies were done. They smelled amazing! I let them cool for a bit before starting the frosting. I spread some frosting on each cookie and added sprinkles while the frosting was still wet. Some of them looked pretty decent, others, well, let’s just say they had character.
I gotta say, it was a messy process. There was flour everywhere, and I definitely got frosting on my clothes. But in the end, I had a bunch of colorful, tasty cookies. I shared some with my neighbors’ kids, and they loved them!
My thoughts
All in all, making these “back to school cookies” was a fun way to spend an afternoon. They might not look perfect, but they taste good, and that’s what matters, right? Plus, it’s a great activity to do with kids. I think it is a good way for packing them in lunchboxes, sharing them at school events, or enjoying them as an after-school snack. I might try this again, maybe next time I’ll get those apple shapes right!
