Christmas Cookies

Today was stage one of the cookie baking which will become gifts for our neighbors. I decided to start with sugar cookies and icing, both of which were new recipes I found online. Cole was ready to help and plenty excited.

Cole dumping in he sugar. Dumping things in is by far his favorite part of the cooking process.


I added the eggs, cracking them with one hand like my dad always does. Cole loved that. Then time to roll out the batter. Look at that fro. Good thing I'm getting my hair cut wednesday.




Cut them up and bake them.



Kevin pointed out Cole had a little flour soul patch.


Some cookies turned out great.



Some did not, and I'm not sure what happened. I did salvage these little wafer-like things and used chocolate frosting to make a cookie sandwich out of them. Very delicious use of a mistake.



The finished product. I thought I had bought red food coloring (and in fact the bottle was red) but as it turned out, it was pink. I kept adding more and more and then finally checked the box, and sure enough. Pink. Not red.
