Cooking Up Some Fun

Future chefs share cookies ingredients

While visions of sugarplums are supposed to dance in the heads of youngsters at this time of year, envisioning a sugarplum in 2019 might prove tricky for a tot.

So the Eagle updated the holiday confection most yearned for and asked six kindergarten students who attend South Butler Primary School the question “What are Christmas cookies made of?”

Their answers were delightful, although few bakers will likely follow the kids' recipes.

Eva Skiff — You use dough. You make the dough out of sprinkles and icing, then you put it in the oven and bake it.
Olivia Cammisa — Salt, pepper, and some icing.
Benjamin Markiewicz — Salt and icing.
Abigail Beaufort — We make the cookies and Santa, a stocking, an elf, and a present are on them.
Kylee Rooker — They have sprinkles on them.They have flour and sugar in them.
Tesher Quinn — You put Christmas decorations and ornaments on them.
