Pilgrim Hat Cookies

Are you looking for a very easy, fun recipe for cookies that even a 4 year old could do?
Well look no more because here it is.

Elora will show you how to make them in just a sec...
But for now, here are the ingredients:

1 cup vanilla frosting with 7 drops of yellow food coloring
32 miniature peanut butter cups (remove papers)

1 pkg fudge striped cookies 32
pieces orange mini Chiclets gum


Elora is 6, and she loved making them. I just set out all the ingredients, showed her how, and away she went.

She is going to give them to her teachers tomorrow.
She made them a card with no prompting from anyone.
Naturally thoughtful, she is.


I found this idea in Taste of Home Magazine, Oct-Nov 2008 issue.

So happy to hear that! Thank you for telling me, Erin. Elora was just so proud of herself, and I love the way she was determined to make a card to go with it.

What a fun idea. I am going to file this away in my "fun with Grandma" file. Elora is smart beyond her years. I can't believe she did the letter! So cute! (She will make a great visiting teacher someday!!!)

Thanks for this idea. I'm going shopping today and will get all the ingredients so Kylie (just turned 5) can make some for her family! What a good grandma thing to do! Love, Susan and Dad

Get her an agent and get her a show on the Food Network. Move over Rachael Ray. Those look really cute.

We're going to give these a try for Thanksgiving! By the way, I'll be praying for Amy and waiting for an update!

Elora, you did an EXCELLENT job in sharing this cookie idea. I will have to pick some things up to do with the girls.

How CUTE! I might just have to make those. I'm trying to think of a family that doesn't read your blog to give them to....hmm..I'll have to be creative.

I am sad to hear about the twins struggling. It sounds like things are under control for now. That's good! I'll keep their family in my prayers.
