Cute Camera Pinata Sugar Cookies filled with mini M&M’s are perfect for your next memorable moment.
Photography used to be a hobby reserved for people with ridiculously long lenses and very deep pockets.
Now thanks to digital technology and hi-res smart phones, everyone can take beautiful photos, add a filter and look like an expert.

This week I found myself in a memorable moment, with butterflies in my stomach.
It wasn’t due to any of my own endeavors. I was sitting in the parent information night for kids starting high school next year.

I know my son will love it, but I still feel a twinge of nervous energy. And a strange feeling of not being ready to have a son in high school. How did he get here so fast? I must take more photos of him before he is all grown up.

To make camera pinata sugar cookie recipe you will need:

My sugar cookie recipe
130g (4.59 ounces) or 1/2 cup plus 1 Tbsp and 2 tsp margarine or butter

  1. Hello! I was wondering if I could replace the egg in this recipe with egg yolks only? 🙂 I’m looking to use up some egg yolks after using the whites for macarons haha 🙂

    • Hi Leigh. The yolk and white are both necessary.

  2. Hi Ann,
    I not sure if it’s somewhere and I didn’t see it, but how many cookies did this batch make?
    Thanks

    • Hi Daffodil14b, Ann made 10 finished cookies using this recipe.

  3. Is it okay to use regular granulated sugar instead of caster sugar?

    • Hi Alyssa, It would be much better to use caster sugar as it will dissolve well in the mix.

  4. hi ann do i have to put the daugh in the fridage before i roll it. i dont like useing royal icing becuase of the raw eggs but im going to try the
    pavlova magic mix soi use only 62g of that right going to make this bisuits for my daughter 5 th birthday she wants frozen and im doing your doll frozen cake too fingers crossed could you please get make to me about the dough and the pavlova magic mix ? thank you

    • Hi Lisa, You don’t need to refrigerate the dough before rolling. Yes use 62 g or half a packet approximately of the Pavlova Magic mix.

  5. I’m allergic to cinnamon so is there an alternative I could use?

  6. Hi Ann could I substitute the ppowdered egg whites for egg whites and if so how long do they last?

    • Hi Hajra, you can but because the egg white is raw you can’t keep the cookies for long. It would be best to use them within a day or so.

  7. can i subtitue the powdered white egg with egg white?

    • Hi Medy, you can but because the egg white is raw you can’t keep the cookies for long.

  8. Hi Ann!
    Is there anything else I can use then powder egg white or pavlova magic mix for the icing?
    Cause where I live, neither is an option.
