Baking with Ethan

For Ethan's birthday, we had a dinosaur theme party. So what better thing to bake, than dinosaur cookies?! Ethan and I have made these cookies many times. He practically knows the recipe by heart. It's our favourite roll-out cookie recipe as you don't have to chill the dough, courtesy of Wilton.

With all the excitement about his birthday, I forgot to photo document each step, so my apologies.

Cookies! Yummy!
