Have you made your Christmas cookies yet? It seems like everywhere I look (or really, browse and read) everyone is making Christmas cookies. And, for the record, they all look pretty darn delicious and perfect.
Take a look at these my cousin Andrea made last week or these - scroll to the bottom of the posts to see her beauties. They look, really um..professional. Right? As you might have guessed from the picture above, the efforts here at the McKnight house did not produce the same Martha-like cookies. Instead, we created some sort of giant cookie blob. And in case you were wondering, they didn't taste that good either.
Yesterday, we tried once again. This time from a box from Trader Joe's. Alas the results were much improved. Showing once again, that cookies from a box can be delicious and lordy so much easier to make.
Next up - Gingerbread Houses...but don't hold your breath.
Oh, Mel, you give me way too much credit. Come visit us next Christmas and we'll bake cookies together. :)
ReplyDeleteWe need to plan something next year - if not Christmas, maybe Thanksgiving! Ellery still talks about how Ian taught her to to play the Leapfrog stuff.
