cookie spectacular

My baking sous-chef was becoming little uninterested yesterday afternoon.  After all, helping mm make bread and butter all day pales in comparison to hours of handy manny watching.  

Enter:  cookie making

I mixed up the dough in my amazing mixer, rolled it out, and then let Reese go to town cutting with his Christmas cookie cutters.  

While the cookies cooled we ran to Hobby Lobby to pick up icing and sprinkles, bags, and ribbon.  

Someone not only snuck a few extra licks of icing, but nibbled the tips off one of our stars.  Stinker.

We had so much fun packaging all the cookies to give our friends. 

And today we're going to make cookies again with Daddy-O.  Santa requested fresh cookies :)  He's persnickety like that.
