Finger Painting

Inspired by Erin's post, I decided to try a little finger painting today. Try this with your sugar cookies. Our baby is too young to help, but I am sure kids would love helping with this, or just eating them.

Put cookie dough on pan and flatten each cookie (or make a big pan-sized cookie and flatten it out well). Cut a design out of wax paper (heart, star, letters, etc....) In a shallow dish, sprinkle some cinnamon and sugar. Lay paper on cookie and use your finger to "paint" over the design.
The following recipe is great for doing this since the dough is a little oily. It is also really, really easy.

My Husband's Favorite Cookies
Whisk the following together:
2 eggs,
2/3 Cup of oil (canola or vegetable),
2 teaspoons vanilla &
3/4 Cup sugar.
Now stir in:
2 Cups flour (all-purpose),
2 teaspoons baking powder (or "powders" as my Meemaw likes to say:))
1/2 teaspoon salt.

Chill about half an hour or longer. Scoop onto pan; sprinkle tops with sugar (or fingerpaint them as mentioned above).
Bake at 400 degrees.
