A Little Holiday Baking


This past Sunday afternoon was allocated for baking some Christmas sugar cookies with Sugar and Daughter.  I had mixed the dough a few days before, so all that was needed was to roll out the dough with a little flour on the board...

Sugar was starting to run a fever, but it didn't stop her from her baking duties.



followed by cutting out with some cheap-o cookie cutters and some of my Grandma's Christmas cookie cutters...


Daughter joined us for the fun.  Her cookies were much prettier than mine.

and decorating with food-colored egg "paint", sugars and fancy sprinkles all in the favorite holly, jolly hues of red and green.


Painting the cookies included making gashes in them with the bristles.  Oh, well...we were after a fun afternoon.  Not perfect cookies. 

After all of our hard work...

Sugar really got into her work.  There was flour on her eyelid, her arms and the back of her shirt.
the cookies went on the baking sheet and into the oven.


Look at that little face!  She was so proud of her cookies.

Ta Da!  Here is the finished product.  What a fun day!


Take a close look at those cookies.  Sugar went a little crazy with the cookie cutting process and gave the sugar a good shake on Santa.  They are adorable and delicious!
