Pinwheel Cookies

The first week we only ended up doing 3 popsicle activities.  And that's fine with me.  Some mornings they just seem to want to play and nothing motivates them.  But those are usually the days when they're playing really nicely together so it's really easy to just let them keep playing and save the work for another day.  I'll probably not blog about most of our summer activities but this was too cute to skip.

Pinwheel Cookies:

Make a batch of sugar cookie dough.  Divide it into four parts and dye each a different fun color.  Refrigerate for 1 hour.  Nurse the baby (you could omit this step but it was necessary for me :).

Then take a small piece from each color and roll them into a ball.

Then roll the ball into a snake.  Miles was very good at this since he loves to make "sakes" in nursery each week.

Then bend the snake around itself making pinwheel shapes.

Bake.

Eat.  We ran out of sprinkles so only some of them had them.  But they were delicious and very fun!
