Christmas Cookies

THE FAMOUS CHRISTMAS SUGAR COOKIES

Christmas 06 Jessica learned (from Auntie Karen)all the ins and outs of how to make the "famous sugar cookies." So, this year, Auntie Karen came down on the 22nd of December to make the cookies at our house. Jessica rolled out all the dough - they quadroupled the receipe 4 times. (that makes a crap load of cookie dough.) Taylor (11 now) is watching Jessica. Little Miss Jessica didn't want her picture taken cause she hadn't had time to do her hair and makeup! Oh she is sooooo much like her mother - NOT






The first 2 cookie sheets to go in the oven for exactly 8 minutes. Do you see the cute little puppy in the background?

I LVOVE that dog!






COOKIES EVERYWHERE
Here they are cooling on my table.
I am sitting right next to them.
I don't want anyone to steal or eat them YET.





Auntie Karen making enough icing for the 200 + cookie they made. I think she used 2+ cups of crisco, 2 bags of powered sugar, lemon extract and vanilla extract.







The whole gang was involved with the frosting of the cookies. Everyone got in the pictures except me! I like it that way. I wish this blogging had a smell factor - you would have loved the way the cookies made our house smell.

I haven't seen Auntie Karen in forever! A similar activity was going on at my Mom's house that very same day with me rolling out and making sugar cookies. With a couple of differences: I don't make that many and you have to frost your own cookies. I made the cookies and the frosting but ran out of time to perfectly frost each one. No one really complained except my Dad!
