I have been finding projects for my boys to do in the kitchen, so Nana bought us a Look’n'Cook recipe book.  This is actually a book set-up for teachers of pre-school and Kindergarten, but it has some great, easy projects for the little ones in your house.  There are a bunch of different recipes set-up for a variety of holidays and times of the year.

Tomorrow, the 4th of July, I am getting my two little chefs in the kitchen to make some Sweet Sparklers.  This is easy, fun and sounds tasty:

Sweet Sparklers

from the Look ‘n’ Cook recipe book

Ingredients:

Refrigerated Cookie Dough

Vanilla Frosting

Red, White and Blue Candy Spinkles

 Preparation:

 Freeze the cookie dough for about 15 minutes, then cut it into half-inch slices.  Roll out the slices to make “cookie sparklers” just make sure that they are not too thin.  Bake using the directions on the sugar cookie package.  Let them completely cool.  Place sprinkles in a shallow bowl.  Using a plastic knife for the little guys, spread frosting on one end, roll in the sprinkles and enjoy!
