Decorating Cookies for Christmas

Only 3 more days till Christmas! More family is arriving today (my mom and dad came Sunday) and so lots of little details are getting finished.

Mom and my girls helped decorate cookies yesterday. I was glad for their help because decorating cookies can be rather long and tedious.

 

Please excuse that stray arm on the left. It really does below to somebody. haha

 

This year it’s Christmas with my side of the family, which I usually host, so I’m doing the planning.

I’ve asked each family to bring 1 dozen cookies for Christmas Eve.

Christmas Eve supper is going to be a Bruschetta bar. I’m really excited about it and hope it’s as fun as it sounds!

Pinterest has some amazing inspiration for it.

Not everyone likes icing but I guess that little kid inside of me still likes it just fine. 🙂

I got the recipe for the cookies and icing from The King Arthur Flour Cookie Companion: The Essential Cookie Cookbook. I really like this cookie book which has hundreds of recipes as well as suggestions and tips.

 

What’s your favorite cookie to make at Christmas time? Can you name just one?
