Eating Play dough

Bop wanted me to eat some play dough, So I did.

Then Bop wanted to eat some play dough, so he did.

Then we thought, why not make play dough for everyone to eat, so we did.

Burner wanted to eat the play dough cookies, so he did.
Daddy, Mema, Aunt K, Uncle W, and Orange also ate are play dough. Everyone loved it. So I am sure you have guessed by now, it is not real play dough. It is cookies, but they look just like play dough and they are so much fun to make and more fun to eat. You should try them.

Play Dough Cookies
3/4 C butter
3 ounces cream cheese
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 t vanilla extract
2 and 3/4 C flour
1 t baking powder
1/4 t salt
assorted food coloring (gel or paste works best)


1. In a bowl cream butter, cream cheese and sugar until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla. Beat until smooth.

2. In a bowl combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Add dry ingredients to the creamed mixture. Stir until soft dough forms. Divide dough into Fourths. Tint each with a different food coloring. Wrap in plastic and chill for two hours. (I stuck it in the freezer for 15 minutes because I hate to wait!)

3. Preheat oven to 350. Shape colors into 3/4 inch balls. For each cookie place one pink, one orange, one green, and one blue ball together and roll to make one giant ball. Roll into a 12 inch long snake, and then starting at one end coil roll to make a cookie. Place cookies 2 to 3 inches apart on greased cookie sheet to allow for spreading.

4. Bake for 8 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool and store in an airtight container.

Enjoy!
