This will be short and sweet, I haven't done this in a while so I thought I'd post a short little blog about the new cookies I attempted this year. Sugar Cookies, I was watching Martha Stewart and they were making Santa sugar cookies and decorating them with royal icing, doing the hat and boots and then waiting 10 minutes for that color to dry and then doing the white and waiting another 10 minutes so I thought I would love to do that. I went out in search of things I saw and came up short, no Santa cookie cutters (I could only find big Santa faces, not the whole body) and no luck finding those little silver balls for sticking on the icing either. If anyone knows where I can find these things please help: ) I did find other basic shapes, candy canes, snowmen and snowflakes and I had a ton of fun decorating them though. I'm not to excited about baking them and really try to get that out of the way really quick so I can get to decorating. I was so excited to get going on the decorating I couldn't wait till I had peace to do it (all the kids sound asleep in their beds!) so I sadly rushed into it and had my pants tugged on and was interruped numerous times. I'm happy with how they turned out but think next year they'll be better... I won't rush into them and I'll do them when I have the kitchen to myself!
So here are my snowflakes..
and here are my little snowmen..
and next year when I have that much more practice I'll post the other shapes:)
