Christmas Cookies

I really enjoy decorating cookies. I don't do it that often, unfortunately. It does take up a good amount of time to just do a few, but if I have the time to focus and decorate, it's so much fun!! I was really determined to do some Christmas cookies this year and I managed it! Yay!!

Ready for pictures? I'm not holding back.

 The most boring ones, but still cute, right?

 Candy Canes

 "Frahhhhsty the snowman!!"

(We've been doing a lot of caroling lately)

 A larger snowman that is arm-less 

 Snowman family

 Stockings for everyone!

 I had some sprinkles leftover from last year so I was able to do the holly!

Don't worry, sprinkles last a year. I've been eating them.

 Christmas tree... the swirl was on purpose.

 many a Christmas tree

 like the sprinkles to make it look "fuzzy"??? I do!

A nice review of all of them :)

I think I've made some improvements from last Christmas...

Wow, I'm rethinking even showing those. And I was reeaaallly proud of those last year. Yikes.

Speaking of more cookie fails... I decided to make some chocolate oatmeal cookies (the best cookies ever!).  I thought I'd try to shape them into Christmas shapes. It might've worked better if I hadn't added too many oats (arg!! --although still not bad:)

 Them falling apart

A few made it, which made me realize they're just not appealing so might as well just make them in blobs. Or eat out of the pot... But I wouldn't ever do that.. :D

Sooo since it's Christmas I want to share some cute decorations I have! These are just a few I just snapped since they're in the kitchen.

 Isn't this precious?!

And cookies on cookie sheets!!

My mother-in-law got me all these. They are just too cute!!

I hope everyone has a fantastic and safe Christmas!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
