Making Christmas Cookies

Ingredients. Looks like we have our work cut out for us.
Oops!

This picture must have been taken early in the day; the kitchen is not yet in utter chaos.

Show that dough who's boss, Kate!

I believe the mincement is supposed to go on the cookie dough...

About this time I was lecturing Kate on the amount of iron found in different brands of molasses. Did you know that gingerbread is pure health food?


That's why I'm making a triple batch.

Kate's creative juices were flowing when she took the frosting bag in hand. She did these to replictate her parents...


...her brother Jeff (the policeman)...

her husband, Josh, the snowmobiler...

And you should have seen the native warriors, Hawaiians, etc. The ones I decorated were quite unimaginative.

Anyone like to stop in for some cookies and hot chocolate or Candy Cane Lane tea?
