Line baking sheet with parchment paper
In a small non-stick skillet (or metal ladle if you have it), add sugar. Stir the sugar with a chopstick until it begins to melt.
Once the sugar is melted and appears amber in color, remove from the burner, add a pinch of baking soda, and mix well.
IMMEDIATELY pour the mixture onto the baking sheet.
Flatten with another piece of parchment paper, about ¼ inch.
Use a cookie cutter to create desired shape.
Let cool and give your kids a needle to use for cutting the cookies into shapes ala Squid Game. Just kidding.
