Love Is All You Knead <3

Have you ever seen those calico cat cookies, often found on Pinterest? Well, we have. And if you haven't, you're about to. And we Valentinezed them. We have always enjoyed baking together, so we thought why not bring it to the blog?! Baking is basically just chemistry, so clearly, the best people at baking would be women in stem.

Get ready for the cutest cookies you've ever seen. Baking these cookies brought us so much joy and we couldn't wait to share them with y'all. <3

Here's how we made these cookies:

For the sugar cookie base, we followed this recipe: https://www.twosisterscrafting.com/best-sugar-cookie-recipe/

During the kneading process, Delaney proceeded to throw some dough out, in which Emma responded: "rghgrhgr"

Last semester, during Alli's Finals Prep Event, she provided little gift bags and part of it included a cookie cutter. It was a cat shape! We wanted to modify the recipe to make our cookies into cats! Not only cats but pink and purple calico cats.

To do this, we separated small portions of the dough into bowls and added food coloring.

Then we added bits of each colored dough to the counter by "just plopping them down." Cause that's how cats are made.

No rolling pin? No problem.

Next, we cut out the cats and loaded them up for the oven.
