Yesterday was Advent Sunday. That is when a lot of parents spend the day in the kitchen with their kids, making Christmas Cookies. Vincent loves to decorate cookies, but what he loves more is to eat the decoration. The cookies you see in the photos are the ones that I decorated. My little Gingerbread man broke so we ate his head and foot while we were working on the other cookies.

The recipe that I used is a generic sugar cookie recipe, but with cacao powder.

270 g Flour

50 g Baking cacao

120 g powdered sugar

pinch of salt

150 g cold butter

2 eggs

First, you mix the dry ingredients and then the eggs and butter. Mix fast so that the butter doesn't melt that much. Refrigerate for at least 40 minutes.

Depending on the size of the cookie you can bake them between 7-10 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius.

The smaller cookies I backed for 7 minutes and the big for 10 ;)

I love to use all the colorful sprinkles and confetti. The metallic powder that I used for Vincent's spider cake, we also used to paint some of the cookies with.

We had so much fun! I am looking forward to the next cookie baking session with Vincent.
