Celebrate the Olympics

What You Do:

1. Preheat the oven to 325° F.
2. Time to get messy! Ask her to spread about 1/4 cup flour onto the work surface.
3. Have her dust the rolling pin with flour, too.
4. Roll the dough into a sheet about 1/4” thick.
5. Now for the fun part: Invite her to cut five circles using a round cup.
6. To form the rings, she can cut five smaller circles within the larger circles, using a smaller cup.
7. There are two ways to connect the Olympic rings. The first method is to place the rings on a cookie sheet, two inches apart from one another. Once baked, layer the cookies over each other in the formation of the Olympic rings. The second way is to arrange it so that the edges of the rings touch and after they bake, they will be connected to each other. In either case, bake the cookies for approximately 8 to 10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
8. Encourage her to decorate each ring with icing. If she chose the method of baking the cookies separately, just have her squeeze a bit of icing underneath the overlapping parts of the top cookie so that they stick to the bottom layer.
