We’re Writing a Cookbook: First Recipe Rainbow Cookies

One of the great things about living in the time that we do is that it’s easy to write and publish your own books. When my 6 year old came to me a few days ago with a plan to write a cookbook with her friend, I thought it would be a great use of a photobook. You can purchase a 5×7 photobook for about $10. I have started laying it out with a few recipes we have selected. It’s been a really fun project for us. Tonight we completed our first recipe complete with photos of the event for our Cookbook.

Aren’t our little chefs cute?

Here is the debut of our first recipe, Rainbow Cookies!

We are targeting kid friendly recipes.  This one has only 2 ingredients:

• Pre-made Cookie Dough
• Food Coloring

There are only 6 easy steps:

1. Divide the dough evenly into 4 sections.
2. Add a different color food coloring to each section and mix work the dough until the desired color is reached.
3. Take a small piece of dough from each section/color.
4. Gently roll the small pieces of dough into one ball.  Be careful not to mix the colors.
5. Bake as directed on the package.
6. Cool & eat!!
