Bake Christmas Cookies with me👩🏽‍🍳✨

Here’s a quick rundown of how to use these ingredients for your cookies and gingerbread house, with the parent-assist guidance in mind:
For the Cookies:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (as you mentioned).
Prepare the dough: Open the pack of Pillsbury Cookie dough and, if you're using Reindeer Sugar Cookies as well, follow the instructions on their packaging.
Place the cookies on a baking sheet: Use your non-stick pan or baking sheet. If it’s not non-stick, consider lining it with parchment paper.
Bake: Place the cookies in the oven for the time specified on the package, usually about 8-10 minutes.
Cool: Let the cookies cool down before decorating.
For the Gingerbread House:
Assemble the gingerbread house: Open the kit and follow the instructions to assemble it. You may need to use icing as glue to hold the pieces together.
Decorate: Once the house is assembled, let the kids decorate it with the food decorations and icing. You can use the decorative items to add fun details like windows, doors, or festive designs.
For Hot Chocolate:
Make the hot chocolate: Heat 1/2 cup of whole milk (or water) on the stove or in the microwave. Then, add the hot chocolate mix from your box and stir until fully dissolved.
Top with marshmallows: Once the hot chocolate is ready, add the jumbo marshmallows on top for an extra treat!
Tips for Success:
Have the parent assist with any hot surfaces (oven, stove, etc.) or assembly that requires fine motor skills, like putting the gingerbread house pieces together.
Let kids get creative with the cookie and gingerbread house decorations, but supervise closely for safety and fun.
Enjoy your holiday baking!
