A quick photo snapped while decorating. The blue cookies were decorated like knitted cookies too. |
Hats and Mittens - that was my 'theme' for cut out sugar cookies this year. I still did some Christmas trees and a couple others but I was really excited about the hats and mittens this year.
You would think I would have taken a lot of great photos then, right? Wrong. This year, December 13th I got thrown for a 'loop' and the world got crazy busy and time got away from me. I managed to get these cookies made and enough goodies to make up 5 huge trays this year but that's it.
Life. It's what happens when you are busy making other plans.
So this poor excuse for a photo is what makes it to the blog and I only am able to quickly post links to some of the items I used to make them because I literally ordered a lot of my ingredients from Amazon so I was able to simply look up my own order to see what I used.
UPDATE:
Yesterday I remembered I had a tray of cookies in the freezer waiting to go with a family member to her co-workers! I grabbed the tray out and quickly snapped a few pictures so at least I can say I got a few pictures of one random cookie tray in 2021!
Note: I ordered my Ann Clark mitten cookie-cutter from another site as I was ordering some sanding sugars and other items from there. Amazon does have the mitten cookie-cutter but it's a little more on Amazon than if you find it elsewhere for about $2-3. The difference of course is you probably have to pay shipping elsewhere so in the end, Amazon is basically the same price since you probably are getting free shipping.

Invested in some 1 and 1.5 size tips this year! Nice and tiny.
This is just one of the many fun shades of sugar sprinkles available.
I also made some chocolate sugar cookies using a tree shaped cookie cutter this year. The chocolate sugar cookies are a family favorite no matter what shapes I use each year!
Royal Icing Recipe - posted numerous times on An American Housewife - this is just one of them.
