New Toy

Well, with Valentines Day quickly approaching, I decided to get myself a fun little toy from Williams-Sonoma - their personalizable cookie cutters. I thought it would be fun to make cookies with all sorts of sayings on them. So, here was my first test of the product.

Step 1: Make Robert's mom's hanukkah/hamentashen cookie recipe (basically a sugar cookie recipe).
Step 2: Add red food color (it is for Valentine's Day!)
Step 3: While dough is chilling, insert letters into cookie cutters (this was a bit more difficult than anticipated. Next time, I'll stick to only 3 text options - it's too hard to change them out all the time. But, I guess you wouldn't want them loose while you're pressing them into the dough.)
Step 4: roll out dough, press out cookies and then bake
Step 5: EAT and ENJOY!
