Cut-out Cookies

First, don't tell your toddler you're making cookies until AFTER you've made and chilled the dough. Otherwise, it's just an hour of "Cookies are ready! Cookies are ready!"

Second, I thought it funny that Nigella advises to add a little more flour if the dough is too sticky, as my dough was way too dry and didn't hold together. I assumed that my medium egg wasn't the equal of Nigella's large egg and added another. Then everything came together just fine.

All in all, this is an easy, tasty cookie dough that works great for cutting into shapes. Both the toddler and I enjoyed the results.
