Game Day

So it is another BYU game day.

We put up our flag...as we do on game day. My neighbor across the street puts up a Ute's flag so I feel like...now I really have to put up a Y flag.


I made some cookies for the party tonight. They turned out pretty dang cute...considering...I don't have an icing bag (not to mention a pretty short attention span).

Go COUGARS!

I used pioneer woman's recipe found here
They are so cute...and you paint the cookies before you bake them with tinted egg yolks.
So fun to do with the kids. I bought some halloween cookie cutters this week so we can make these again halloween style.


*****NEW NOTE*****
My friend Natalie mentioned in the comments that she doesn't use this recipe very often because it has raw egg whites in the frosting part. I had forgot this...so now that I remember a couple of notes on the frosting. I too thought the raw egg white was freaky so I left it out. And the recipe for the frosting uses a whole bag of powdered sugar. So that is obviously WAY WAY more then you need for these cookies. I just made my own recipe...I wasn't crazy about the one I used. Next time I will find a better recipe. But for now leave out the egg white and cut the frosting recipe AT LEAST in half.

Okay, Ashley--that is awesome! What a great thought for the cookies. And we hang our flag every game too! Good game.
