Monday we celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. I wanted to send a snack to my daughter's class to celebrate his legacy and finally came up with these cookies...
I used the cookie cutter that I found here, I made up four pages of quotes from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., that you can download here.
We will be spending Monday finding some ways to do service in our community and spread Dr. King's message of love, tolerance, and the ripple effect of doing good.
To make cookies, I used two packages of Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie Mix and combined with butter and egg as directed on the package. I divided the dough into fourths and tinted it with various colors. (Wouldn't it be great if you had time to do rainbow?!)
Cut out cookies, then carefully remove the heart center and swap it with another color. Bake at 375 degrees for 7-9 minutes. Cool completely.
Do you have any ideas for ways to honor Dr. King and spread his message throughout your community? I'd love to hear them!

OMG!! If I could only bottle this type of creativity, I would be RICH!!!!! And I'd have a lot of friends!!! You are so talented to have come up w/ this. The children these are presented to should get the message of a whole new way of thinking. Good for you! Thanks so much for sharing!!
Love these for MLK celebration. Just pinned them into my MLK Day board.
That's really awesome you did something so creative and for MLK. Now I'm having a sugar attack! Thanks!!! :)
Mandy, this was such a great idea. We spent the morning at the food bank and went window shopping in the afternoon. I am new to your blog, so I took some time to browse through your earlier posts. I'm so glad I did that. You've created a great spot to visit and I really enjoyed the time I spent here. I'll definitely be back. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary
