Yesterday was one of my favorite days of the year, right up there with Christmas day itself =) Baking, frosting, exchanging & making up trays, we did 13 tins & trays for family & friends this year:
And here are the cookies! Lime Coolers (made by mom):
Apricot nectar cookies (me):
Sesame seed logs (my aunt):
Gingerbread people (made by mom but decorated by me):
Marzipan balls with frosting (grandma):
Haystacks (grandma):
Nut butter balls I think ... I don't eat them since I'm allergic LOL (grandma):
Sesame cookies (grandma):
I don't know what these are called a lady at my mom's work didn't want to take home the leftovers so she gave them to my mom:
Rosettes (my aunt):
Fruity foldovers in lemon curd & blackberry (me)
Two kinds of toffee (also from mom's work):
Here are some of my favorite decorated sugar cookies:

We're in the final countdown, I can't believe it's less than a week until Christmas! I am actually done with shopping & wrapped everything tonight - are you done, or still running around?
Thanks for reading.

ReplyDeleteI posted a comment on your video on youtube, but I thought it might be easier for you to answer on here. About how much powdered sugar & milk you used? And I was also wondering if there's a specific type of milk that you think works best?
