Do Not Try This At Home

So after returning from Crier Creek birthday party, I got to work on Hudson's birthday cookies for Monday. First of all, I wasn't exactly sure how many kids were in his class since they just started. I realized that I could possibly be a little short on dough and just went with it. Mistake. I made them too thin, in my opinion, and it came back to haunt me.

They look okay before being cooked, right? I mean it is a 4! Stephen commented that it's the wrong 4 and that it should be the one with two sticks at the top, not a point. Okay, well, I don't have that cookie cutter and I'm tired so it's this or cupcakes from HEB.

Maybe cupcakes from HEB would have been a better choice.
I stopped taking pictures when I realized this was all going to end very badly. The hole of the 4 closed together while they baked and it was not in any way resembling a 4. It actually looked like a circle with two little numbs on the side. I showed Stephen and he just laughed. I'm mean, I would laugh to if I hadn't just wasted precious time doing this.

In the end I decided to ice over the whole thing, write "4" on top with icing, and then sprinkle them. They looked cute (trust me) but I could have just made a circle from the beginning.
No final picture due to my bruised ego and exhaustion... it doesn't take much. Hudson's teachers said they were yummy, and there are 12 kids in his class. I made 19 cookies... at least I did that right. I figure, the cookies had icing and sprinkles, my audience is mostly 3 and 4 year olds so really, how could they be wrong?
