Every family has recipes they use for holidays or special occasions. During Christmas I spent time in New Mexico with my son and his wife Holly and her family. Of all the desserts her family cooked, I spotted one I had never seen before. When I asked about the dessert Holly’s face lite up as she began to tell me about their family tradition. There are five children in her family and when they were all small her Mother found a recipe in a magazine and tore it out. Each year she pulls the recipe out and the family works together to make Playdoh cookies. All the kids are grown now but they still make them. Holly says it is just as fun now as then.

These cookies look just like playdoh but taste like sugar cookies! Of course, I had to give them a try. After looking for the best version, I discovered there was more than one. I have included a couple of them below. These cookies would be a great idea for a birthday party or as a new family tradition for any time of year.

Look for the video on the Pontotoc County Facebook page later this week. Remember if you try the recipe, send a picture, I would love to see your cooking success! I hope we can meet and cook together soon! If you have questions about any of the instructional videos for these recipes that are being posted on the Pontotoc County 4H Facebook page or about 4-H and would like to be added to the upcoming ZOOM meetings, just call Jane Chamblee your 4-H Agent at 662-489-3910.
