I’ve got some easy to make sugar cookies that don’t require refrigeration. And they are mmm mmm good!
These aren’t the standard roll out on a floured surface sugar cookie recipe. They are a mix together and drop on the cookie sheet variety.
I’ve shied away from traditional sugar cookies because they are so much work. They take a long time to make, create a mess and then they are gone. It just doesn’t seem like all the hassle to me usually.
But spread some amazing buttercream frosting and decorate these yummy cookies and call it good.
Because sprinkles make everything better right?

What I love about my grandchild’s teacher is that he really works with my grandson. He has lots of trouble focusing and Mr. Kuhn is helping him learn strategies to do better. Mr. Kuhn also taught my granddaughter. He has been her favorite teacher by far!

This would be just one way to show my children’s teacher(s) how much I love and appreciate them. Problem would be picking who to give it to. Guess I’d make them share!

I love that my daughter’s teacher really gets to know her personally and us as a family. My son’s teacher is amazing too and really lets him figure out things on his own terms and helps encourage him in any area that he’s not confident in. I love your cookie idea and the card is super sweet. Thanks for sharing.

My children are adults but I’m close to my grandchildren’s teachers. They’ve become friends through working with them inside and out of their classrooms. I love that they include us in their class as grandparents.

What a cute idea! Those cookies look so yummy, too! We love our son’s kindergarten teacher so much. I wish I could pay her money….she deserves so much more than what she gets paid. I love to spoil her!
Janet says
I am a teacher and we appreciate ANY kind words, gifts etc. So much of the media/news only portray the bad educators. We truly do care and worry about your child and their progress.
