Cut Out cookies

My son's 3rd birthday was on September 4th. Last year we brought cupcakes to his daycare and that turned out to be way too messy! I felt SO bad for the teachers because they had to clean up each and every kid. And so, this year, I decided to make some cut-out cookies (thanks Maricel for the idea!). Our theme was fire trucks, so I found a fire truck cookie cutter and a #3, which was absolutely perfect, and then all I needed was the recipe. There are so many recipes online, it was quite difficult to try to pick one. I don't remember which one I ultimately ended up with, but the best tip I read during my research was to use powdered sugar instead of flour when rolling out the dough. This way the dough does not get too tough to work with and you don't end up with any waste! This worked perfectly! I topped it off with some fondant and voila we had some pretty cool looking cookies! Definitely better than the cupcakes!
