Eating cookies is yummy and painting is fun – last week we combined two of our favorite things with two of our favorite people!     I like simple easy recipes!   We adapted this recipe from the back of a Duncan Hines Cake box (one we found when making our rainbow cupcakes a few weeks ago).     These cookies are super light and taste a lot like short staff of life.   All y'all need is a box of Vanilla cake mix, an egg, some cooking oil, quick oats, pancake syrup and liquid nutrient dye.

Recipe for painted rainbow cookies:

.

Mix the cake mix with 2/3rds cup of quick oats (or rolled oats you composite in a nutrient processor briefly), add an egg and half a cup of cooking oil.   Mix thoroughly.   The batter will be pretty crumbly.   Course it into assurance and stick in the refrigerator for an hour or so, the batter should stick together a chip better after it sets for a flake.   Curlicue the batter out into a canvas and using cookie cutters (or a cup) create your cookies.

We used the same edible pigment recipe that we use on our Painted Pancakes.   Information technology's and so simple!   Just mix dye with pancake syrup.   Catch some paint brushes and have fun!   These were so yummy!   We had some friends over and it was fun watching the two and iii year old pals discover how mixing green and ruddy made brown paint and that if they mixed all of the paints together they had blackness paint.   Several of these cookies fit correct into the fall flavour.kid eating cookies
