It's Just the Icing on the Cookie

Today was the day for decorating cookies! You may notice (or not) that all of the cookies are circles. There is a reason for this. I am not a baker. I have tried to make cookies from scratch way to many times and they just don't work. Especially roll out sugar cookies. Usually we get the Shapes cookies from the store, but when you buy cookies at the last minute, they are usually gone (note to self- buy cookies earlier next year)! Besides, everyone knows the best part of making cookies is decorating, not the actual baking. As you can see the kids had a good time.


David was the power icer. He probably iced 3/4ths of the cookies on his own.

Megan was slow but steady in her icing. She decorated each with the utmost care.

Joelle grossed her brother and sister out by licking the knife and then continuing to put icing on the cookies.



This is the final product. I will have to admire the work the kids did and keep this photo close at hand, because they are not going to last long:)
