Christmas Cookies


I decided to have some Christmas fun making Christmas cookies. Along with these, I made some pretty great memories with my Papa who sat at the kitchen table talking to me, and sleeping on the floor, while I listened to my favorite Christmas music and baked my cookies. Once they had been cooked, I was just going to frost them simply and quickly, but after a while, I began to really enjoy myself. I grabbed some toothpicks to give the frosting texture and created the fur on the top of the red stocking. Then, I carefully created a red and white candy cane and it went from there. It was a lot of fun. The only downside is I have only decorated about nine cookies in the last hour... At least their pretty!

I got the sugar cookie recipe from AllRecipes.com. They were really delicious with a hint of nutmeg and almond flavoring. I suggest both the recipe for the cookie and the frosting. Delicious.

Is the picture big enough, Camie? ;)
