Sugar Cookies With Buttercream Frosting
Since we are still quarantined at home with no ending in sight, I made a list of mother/son activities for my oldest and I to partake in. First on the list – making sugar cookies and frosting from scratch. Why you ask? I blame Instagram. Lately, the most creative humans have been showcasing their talents on social media. For some reason my feed has been full of cookie baking/decorating. Deep down in my soul I knew I’d be great at cookie decorating. So what better day to start than today right? We opted for a buttercream frosting since it is delicious and easier to work with than royal icing (I plan on making royal icing in the near future).
Adding Landon into the mix was a special treat of it’s own. Check out the video below, along with the recipes and supplies details.

Landon and I had so much fun with this recipe. The hubby even joined in on the fun 🙂 We made this a 2 day affair. I highly recommend allowing enough time to make and color the frosting. That was the most time consuming part for us. My plan is to keep practicing my decorating skills so I can make a pretty batch for Harper’s 1st birthday in September. Of course I will let you know how that goes.
