Baking Sugar Cookies

This past weekend, Lauren was invited to a birthday party at a neighbor's house; sweet Dani turned 2 years old and had a Minnie Mouse themed party. She was adorable dressed in her Minnie Mouse costume, pink shiny shoes, and minnie ears!
I left my camera at home so no pictures of the cutey birthday girl. (bummed)
Her party favors were these cute sugar cookie containers. All is included, except for the wet ingredients. I just love this idea!

Lauren had an awesome time preparing, mixing, rolling the dough and cutting out her stars. I took lots of pictures to document each step of the way. It was also a great practice for holiday baking....can't wait to bake Santa's Cookies!
