baking christmas cookies

Rolling out the dough

 Thank you eBay for our vintage Peanuts cookie cutters!

 M was in charge of stamping


 First attempt was rolled too thin, so we scrapped them and re-rolled the dough.

 Perfect! Time for the oven, kids!

 Baked and cooling!

 Starting to ice the cookies



 M disposed of the icing in the sink and made some art in the process!

 M's Charlie Brown with a bomb, and blown up Lucy...

It took me about an hour to ice these 4 perfectly, but it was totally worth it!

  2. Thanks Mandy! I didn't use a recipe for the icing, I just mixed powdered sugar and soy eggnog together until it was the consistency I wanted :)

  5. Your cookies look amazing! I love painting, but I'm never patient enough to do it with cookies, since I know they'll get eaten
