Christmas Cookies!

My daughter loves making cut-out cookies. I wanted to spice it up a bit. So, now I make her speak French when we do it. We put food dye in the frosting, so she talks about the different cookies she’s making and the colors she is making them. A super easy way to do this is just to buy some refridgerated sugar cookie dough and then you don’t have to make everything from scratch. You can make the icing by simply adding a little water to powder sugar and putting food dye in it. Have fun teaching your children fun and eating the results!

Useful French Vocabulary:
Blue – bleu
Yellow – jaune
Orange – orange
Green – vert
Red – rouge
Pink – rose
