Today it was my daughter’s turn to bring a snack to school.  So we decided to make little sugar cookies and frost them.   I didn’t want to make a big mess in the sink with a bunch of dirty bowls and spoons, so we made a frosting pallet instead.

We had the following on hand:  Duncan Hines Whipped, Food Coloring and a plastic platter that I just love.

We dolloped small amounts of frosting on our pallet.

Then we added the color and blended with a toothpicks:

Now she is ready to work.  She just used a little butter knife to frost her cookies.  This is best for cookie backgrounds and fill zip lock bags, snip corners for more details.

Clean up was super easy, wish I had thought of this simple thing a long time ago.  I would show you pictures of the finished cookies, but like the big goof ball that I am, I completely forgot to take pictures.

Her cookies were a big hit.
