Cooking With Kids
April 22 is Earth Day. Celebrate the Earth with your nanny kids by having an Earth Day treat and celebration. Earth Day is the perfect time to encourage children to recycle, not litter, turn off lights, conserve water, and walk to activities.
Be sure to make some Earth Sun Catchers, our fun Earth Day project, read children’s books about Earth Day, and share these festive cookies to celebrate our environment.
Here’s how we made these Earth Day cookies:
You Will Need:
Favorite Sugar Cookie Recipe or Mix
Green and Blue Food Coloring
Mixing Bowls
Baking Sheets
What to Do:
1. Make your favorite sugar cookie dough recipe. Split the dough in half.
2. Color half the cookie dough with green food coloring and half with blue food coloring.
3. Grab about half a tablespoon of blue dough and another half of green dough and roll them together like a large marble. Be sure to keep the green and blue a bit separated so it looks like the Earth. Place on baking sheet.
4. Cook the cookies as directed in the recipe. Cool. Enjoy!
