Painting Cookies

Painting Christmas cookies is another of our Christmas traditions. This one comes from Paul's moms side. Instead of frosting their cookies they paint them. The paint is a mixture of egg whites, powdered sugar, and food coloring. It's a really fun and tasty way to get beautiful sugar cookies. The family was already planning to get together for dinner because one of Paul's cousins were going to be in town. Since the extended family was already going to be together we thought it would be fun to have everyone over to paint cookies. It was a blast. We had tons of cookies from our baking day, beautiful paint colors and about 2o ready and willing painters. It's so fun to see the different generations of cookie painters. I love that the same things Sawyer's great grandma and Grammy were doing when they were kids at Christmas time are now the things Sawyer and his cousins are doing. I love family traditions.
