Baking with a friend is always fun. Both girls are 4 and had no problems helping with this recipe. Daughter and I made the dough prior to her guest arriving and left it to chill in the fridge. After it sat out on the counter for 15 mins it was ready to roll. The girls enjoyed using the cookie cutters and putting the sprinkles on top.
