There is nothing cozier in the winter than curling up with some freshly baked cookies and cup of milk (or coffee). Since eating cookies all day long isn’t very healthy we decided to make some sugar cookie play dough!
It smells delicious and was lots of fun to play and create with!
Sugar Cookie Play Dough Recipe:
- 1 cup of flour
- 1 cup of water
- 1/4 cup salt
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- dash of Sugar Cookie Oil (affiliate link)
Mix the dry ingredients together in a pot. Stir in the water, oil, and vanilla extract and add a dash of the sugar cookie oil. Cook the mixture over medium heat until a dough forms. Put it on a cutting board until it cools a bit and then knead it until it is the consistency of play dough.
This recipe makes a small batch, you can double it to give as gifts or to use with a larger group of kids. My three had lots of fun playing bake shop together and I quite enjoyed relaxing with my coffee and all of the pretend cookies they made for me!
