Christmas Cookies 101

So this past Monday the girls in my family got together with the girls in my cousin's family and with my Mammaw to make and decorate Christmas cookies.  We all had a blast, expecially with the decorated cookies.  As I foretold, the first two or so dozen cookies looked great, but after that, a lot of them ended up looking more like a patchwork quilt than a cookie ;)  Perhaps this was because we were running out of icing...and ideas...but mostly because we had been sitting at the table decorating for hours.  So despite our lack of enthusiasm by the end (and the fact that i ate too much icing), we did have a great time, and I wouldn't mind if this became a Christmastime tradition (yes, this was our first year).

 Cutting out and baking the cookies. Don't mind my tongue, I simply wan't ready for the picture and was licking off some tasty crumbs ;)
 Mammaw and Aunt Candy rolling Snickerdoodles.  Mmmm! Is your mouth watering yet, cause mine is ;p
 The official decorators...


 We all had a favorite cookie that we absolutely adored, and this sweet little Teddy was my cousin's ;)

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

  1. Those cookies look really good. I like the teddy bear and the Christmas tree with green icing and white stars on it.

    God bless your day!

    You're lucky to have so much snow! But anyhow, I'm enjoying the full on summer where I am at the moment.
