Rainbow Cookies

Yesterday afternoon Levi asked to make cookies. He kept asking to make gorilla or monkey cookies. While I can hold my own in the kitchen, I had zero idea how I was going to make a monkey cookie.

So, as any parent knows, distraction is one of many keys to success. I suggested we make "rainbow" cookies. Levi is majorly into rainbows right now, anytime we go anywhere, he searches out rainbow colors and arranges them in the proper order. "_ I wasn't sure how we were going to do it, but I knew I could use food coloring to my advantage. After perusing cookbooks, I decided on a basic snickerdoodle cookie recipe.. We mixed it up, separated the dough into bowls and colored the cookies in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.

It was a success, and Levi loved it!! :)
