Painted cookies are a treat for the 3rd grade

To work with colors and textures can be a bit boring but not if the surface is a cookie. I baked sugar cookie rounds and bought windmill cookies. We used sparkle gels and several colored frostings. Each student was told to design the round cookie any way they wanted and to paint the design already on the other. They had to complete both to be able to eat the cookies. It took a lot longer than they expected to complet the project but the eating--very fast.
