Ok people for anyone who doesn't know. This is pioneer woman and her cooking blog. I have tried a few of her recipes, and they've been great! A couple of nights ago we tried her sugar cookies. They were easy and delicious. I really like how the cookies are soft and not too crunchy. They also are very delish. The addition of citrus makes them a little different from the average sugar cookie. I only changed the recipe by making my icing way to runny oops! and adding 1/2 teaspoon almond extract. I really like the almond flavor. I'm not a big maker of sugar cookies. My kids enthusiasm gets too overwhelming. They eat the flour, and usually end up wearing more than we use in the whole recipe. The contest to see who can smash the most cookie cutters into the dough. And this time, I really lost my marbles and let them paint with egg yolk paints too. Wow, I'm losing it. In the end though, it is always pretty darn fun. That is until somebody has to clean the kitchen.
Hey mom, can we paint yet???
We love painting these cookies.
Oh no something is amiss. Perhaps someone painted her cookie.
The finished painted product. No, my kids did not paint these.
With the runny, gooey, almondy, icing, that went everywhere.
The carnage at the end. Does anybody want to help clean my kitchen?

Hey, I saw your post on PW's site and just had to see your kids making her cookies. You are a brave woman to turn the kids loose with all of that icing. :) I am the mother of 3, stepmom to 2 and grandmother of 12 (so far)... so I have seen a lot of kids and messes. Seems that kids that are allowed to "mess" in the kitchen are the happiest. Kids ARE washable and so are the other items in the kitchen - so have fun with them. Life is short - Kids grow up fast. Have fun! I loved the pouty face of your daughter... adorable!
