Santa and Friends Christmas Cookies
Welcome to this years edition of, “things I should have shared before Chrsitmas, but didn’t get around to.” The star of show being, me, of course!
When I made these cookies, I was pretty proud. I volunteered to make cookies for each of the kid’s class parties, which was about six dozen all said and done. Not only did I finish early {for once}, I even managed to make them with cutters that I already had out.
I was on the verge of nominating myself for mom of the year, when my sweet little Belle busted my bubble in a way that only a five year old could. She wanted to know why her cookies were staring at her. Apparently she wasn’t too keen on Santa and crew’s “creepy eyes”.
After a quick confirmation from her brothers these cookies will be forever known in our house as “the creepy Christmas cookies”. Out of the mouths of babes, right?
Creepy or not, I made the entire collection with my favorite snowman cutter, along with a few others {pine tree, holly, exclamation point, mini-heart, and Santa hat}.
Despite failing the daughter test, I was pretty happy with the results. I mean, I did decorate six dozen cookies AND the creepy Santa gives hugs!
I was especially fond of this gal. I may even shoot for a redo next year…minus the googly eyes. Apparently, they just aren’t my thing.
Moral of the story, don’t ask your kids for a cookie critique unless you’re prepared for complete and utter honesty {and a daughter who won’t sleep in her bed until they leave}.
I hope everyone had a very Merry Chrsitmas and be sure not to miss the other posts from my annual post-Christmas catch up:
