Oh how I want to be better about posting on the blog. But, the funny thing is that the world doesn't stop and wait for me to upload, edit and resize my photos so I can get a new entry going. Thanksfully, I've finally found some time to get this overdue post going on a topic I don't visit very often....baking. I will admit I am a much better baker than I am a cook. But, since we only have 24 hours in a day instead of say, oh, 32 or so, I rarely have the time. But, each Christmas, starting about 4 years ago, we bake and decorate Christmas cookies. We make the dough from scratch as well as the frosting. Last year, we grabbed the food coloring and added some extra pizazz to the frosting, which we repeated this year. Each year we add a few more decoration elements and each year we get a bit better.
We've amassed quite the arsenal of decorating options.
We love to give personalities to our cookies!
There's some serious concentration going on here.
One of the first masterpieces!
I love all the red and green!
A perfect Christmas tree!
I love that we have started this tradition. We always keep two cookies set aside for Santa each year and put them out on Christmas Eve, along with milk in a Snowman glass.
Here's wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and all the best in the New Year!
