A couple of weeks ago we had our annual Christmas Cookie Decorating Party. I think this was our 5th year.Along with decorating regular sized gingerbread and sugar cookies - for the past few years I've also made a GIANT cookie for each child to decorate. One year it was a giant gingerbread person, the next year it was a giant Christmas tree and this year it was a giant rectangle. Rectangle??
The girl came up with the idea months ago. What if we were to make cookie sheet pan sized cookies that we could "draw" on - kind of like a large sheet of paper? It sounded a bit odd to me but decided to give it a try.
A week or so before the party I did a trial run on the gingerbread cookie recipe I had, to make sure that it would bake OK in the pan and not fall apart when I took it out. It worked fine - but I still decided to make some foil covered, cardboard "trays" to place under the giant cookies as they were being decorated and moved around - so as to avoid any disaster.
The boy's goal was to just get as much candy on his "paper" as possible - thereby creating some edible abstract art (shall we say).
The girl designed a scene with a house and snow.
The kids and I have already talked about ideas for the GIANT cookie next year...it's a bit too soon to make that decision - but I'm open to ideas - any suggestions???
