3-ingredients lockdown sugar cookies- April 2020. If you look closely, beyond the smile and the red lipstick, you will see my worried eyes, trying to smile and be positive amidst a very weird (and super scary!) period of our lives. I was feeling super anxious at the beginning of the #pandemic, and found solace in the kitchen. I organized some virtual baking classes for my son’s classmates, as a way to bring the kids together and entertain the moms too. This recipe is super easy, require only 3 ingredients and was the perfect choice for a virtual cookie workshop with kids of 6 years old. I have the detailed recipe in an IGTV video, a reel showing you how after 1 year in the freezer, the cookies still tasted delicious, and the quick recipe below.
