We just had an event here the other night with a food stylist/cookie designer from the city. She showed us many great techniques for decorating cookies, a lot of which were so beautiful I wouldn't even want to eat them, never mind ever hope to make anything so nice. Still she did inspire me and give me some good tips. One of the things she showed us was a great craft to do with kids: reindeer cookies! It requires no baking, only assembly with melted chocolate of things you can buy in the supermarket. You could use the same technique to make cat cookies, dog cookies, or anything else you get inspired to do.
All you need to buy are Amway or other large ready made ginger snaps or sugar cookies, midge tootsie rolls, large m&ms, small m&ms, chocolate chips, and pretzels.
1) Break the pretzels so they look like antlers.
2) Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave and pour them into a ziplock bag. Snip the corner of the bag and you have a pastry bag to use as glue for your decorations.
3) Pour the chocolate on the cookie, attach the decorations as you want.
4) Place your cookie in the freezer for 30 minutes - now they're ready to eat. That is, if you could have your kids wait that long.
Can you tell which one was done by the professional up above in the pictures?

How cute! Actually I can't tell which cookie is which. They both look really good and yummy :)
