Christmas Cookies-Ok, I admit, I stole the idea!!


Sometimes, I just need a bit of baking therapy. This is what this project was about...because let's face it, who would eat cookies like this? Not that I find them too pretty to eat, but basically, for them to not spread too much, I had to use a very dry recipe, so I don't know how good these even taste! And so much royal icing is bound to give anyone a toothache. But as the title suggests, I saw this in Julia Usher's Ultimate Cookie book-I have ordered it, but not yet recieved, so basically, I just did what I thought is how she did hers...we'll see when I get the book! I keep learning from my royal icing mistakes though...this time, it was just always too leaky-which is why the snowman and the polar bear look a bit off...but all in all, and from afar, they look pretty cool! As usual, I put my favorite in the forefront...putting the best foot forward, is my motto!!! Expect more unusual cookies in the future, I really like decorating them! Hope you like looking at them!!

  4. Thank you Katie!! I really enjoyed doing these. The icing was too liquid and I had to correct a few things, but all in all I really like the result-if only because they are very different to most cookies you see. Now they are on my counter though-cause like I wrote, who wants to actually eat cookies like these!!!
