Hot Dog Cookies

This was another recipe that I made for the Chili Dog Dangle Dance that we had on June 9th for the Silver Fox Squares. These were probably the most talked-about cookies that night! I will definitely be making them again and probably tweaking the method a little bit more.

The kids had a lot of fun with these and I did too. I think I may try using shortbread dough if I can find it, the next time. I may also experiment with a couple of homemade cookie doughs until I can find one that I am really happy with.

I did find this idea on Pinterest and you can click here for the original recipe. (I found the Hot Dog Stand on Amazon.) Continue reading “Hot Dog Cookies”

Watermelon Cupcakes

I made these for the Chili Dog Dangle Dance that we had on June 9th for the Silver Fox Squares. They were so good and fairly easy to make. Not too mention that they are pretty cute if you don’t tip them over on the way.

For future reference, I will try to frost the cupcakes when they arrive at the location instead of frosting them and transporting them. I did find this idea on Pinterest and you can click here for the original recipe.

The kids can help with this one and make it a bit more fun. Continue reading “Watermelon Cupcakes”
