Kids Cooking Tips & Notes

• Kid job: Measuring powdered sugar and rolling the ball in “snow.”
• Less mess: Roll inside plastic wrap or a zip bag to keep hands clean.
• Flavor swap: Use crushed sandwich cookies, graham crackers, or mini chips.
• Chill time: Chilling helps it firm up for easier slicing/scooping.
