In the kitchen with FunLab: Frosted sugar cookies and many other baking ideas from the FunLab archive!

DiAlison Marzo 31, 2020

The other afternoon I was desperate for something to do with my daughter – other than argue about homework and video lessons?. The extended quarantine and closed schools has created a lot of stress in our little house. She loves to make and eat sugar cookies so I decided that it was time to bring out an old family favorite – Sugar Hearts. We actually published this recipe for frosted sugar cookies almost 9 years ago! Definitely an oldie but goodie!

This post contains ONE recipe with three great decorating options.

While digging around in the blog I found so many of my family’s favorite American treats that I decided to suggest a couple of other great recipes that children really love to make and and EAT! Here are the top FOUR:

NUMBER 1: Chocolate chip cookies! You can’t go wrong with these cookies. It doesn’t matter how fast you make them the cookies just keep disappearing!

NUMBER 2: Lion cupcakes! The best part of this recipe is the fun that the kids have decorating their cupcakes.

NUMBER 3: Blueberry buckle! Besides loving blueberries, my family really enjoys having this wonderful breakfast cake to enjoy before starting our quarantine enforced homeschooling.

NUMBER 4: Berry delight – the American crostata! The sweet and tangy raspberry fruit bar is a great addition to your afternoon snack options.

I hope that you try out one of our favorite recipes and that they sweeten your time at home during the COVID quarantine.

keep baking

Carving pumpkins with family and friends is a lot of fun! In the past we have gone for a drive in the countryside and purchased our orange carving pumpkins a couple of weeks in advance so that we were ready for the big day. This year, however, the drive in the countryside did not happen…

On Sunday we invited friends over for brunch with the intention of taking the kids down to the park after we had finished eating. Much to my dismay Mother Nature did not agree with my plans – in fact Sunday was a rainy, gray day. I needed a back up plan for our 4 little…
