My big boy five year old son doesn’t really watch Max and Ruby anymore…but he still remembers that episode when Grandma Bunny made clock cookies for New Year’s Eve.

In fact, he thinks he is so big this year that he will definitely be able to stay awake until midnight to see what all the hub-bub is about. Readers note: this child has never been able to stay awake past 11pm…tops. But he is sure that this year he can make it.

Since he is such a big boy this year I promised him we would make the New Year’s Eve Max and Ruby Clock Cookies..and of course a special fizzy drink to go along with it.

We already have some sugar mix in the cabinet that we didn’t use for Christmas so I”m going to attempt to make home-made frosting from this recipe:
