Christmas and some cookies

Okay… finally, the post from last weekend. My camera never did wake up by the way. But I did manage to get all the photos off using a friend’s card reader. Yay! Unfortunately, no built in card readers on my printer or computer… Boo!

And, I would have posted this last night, but I spent the evening at Pioneer Woman’s book signing in Atlanta. Fun! Fun! More on that soon. Thankfully, I did have a working camera with me for that. A brand new Canon Digital Rebel XSi that I borrowed. It’s nice having generous friends. But, I kinda wish I hadn’t started using it. I might not be able to give it back. Bigger screen, More megapixels. And I’ve convinced myself the photo quality is far superior. It is. I know it is. Maybe my camera will be unfixable. Is that a word?

Anyway, here’s the goods or goodies from last weekend.

It’s coming up on Christmas, so I wanted to make some decorated sugar cookies. But I didn’t really want to make traditional Christmas shapes. So instead, I used a cute little cupcake cutter I recently bought. I also went with a less than traditional color scheme and chocolate sugar cookies to help make the colors pop.

Cookies

I love sugar cookies. Too bad I love them more than they love me. I’m still trying to perfect my piping. I will not give up. I will have non-lumpy lines one day.

Cookies

These were two of the better ones.

Cookies

These … not so much. But squint and they’ll look better.

Snowflake Sprinkles

See …… Okay, I’m kidding. I kid. These are the good ones. Well, the better ones anyway.

Mess

It helps to plan ahead when you work with royal icing. Draw out the colors you want for borders and the colors you want to fill with in advance.

Cookies

The cookie recipe is from the book, Cookie Craft. Get a copy if you have any desire to learn how to make these kind of decorated cookies. It’s jam-packed with tips and tricks.

Or maybe you’ll win this.

Cookie Stuff

Yes, the original Cookie Craft came out with a mini Cookie Craft Christmas book.

Christmas Craft

Also with recipes, ideas, and tips. It’s very cute. And small, which you know I like.

Cupcake Cookie Cutters

You’ll also get this cute 2-piece cupcake cookie cutter set. Love it!

Cupcake Stencils

And some cupcake stencils. You can use these on cookies, too.

Cake Tester

A cupcake-shaped cake tester. This totally unnecessary utensil was too cute to pass up.

Mini Cupcake Spatulas

And so were these mini spatulas. I bought all the goodies (except for the cookie book I picked up at the bookstore) from Crate & Barrel if you want to look them up. I like finding cute things. Hope you like them, too.

Stuffed

And it all comes stuffed in a sparkly stocking.

  1. I want to get some work on my house done while my Hubby has time off from school.

  2. i want to be as creative and fun as you are!! you are such an inspiration!

    … and some attachments for my kitchen aid would be nice as well :)

  3. A kitchenaid mixer!

  4. I want a Le Creuset dutch oven!

  5. I want a zoom lens for my canon camera.

  6. For one, I want to win all this great cupcake awesomeness! I would also like a new macro lens for my Canon Rebel XS and to eat lots of yummy food with my family.

  7. I would like a Canon Digital Rebel XSi myself!! And for my brothere to safely make the trip home…

  8. hmmm… what I want for Christmas… I know I am 30, but those nintendo ds’s look so fun, or an ipod touch… or just maybe a pink kitchen aide. I have a white one and I think it’s kind of boring :0 My biggest wish of all is that my husband gets into dental school. If that happened I wouldn’t ask for one thing more from Mr. Claus.

  9. I know this will sound cheesy, but what I really want is for us to find a job. Rough time for Civil Engineers. Especially highlly paid good ones. Been looking now for 18 months. Meanwhile, I am baking out of my house for a living. It’s not much of a living. All this said, we are happily chugging along in life, still enjoying Christmas– our second year without gifts, but we have found many ways to serve as a family, which has been more meaningful and a greater gift to us than we could have ever guessed. It doesn’t cost a penny to brighten someone’s day, and it blesses us all.

  10. I want to spend quality time with family and friends. My husband always waits until the last minute to shop and it is always fun to see what he comes up with.

  11. I would love a video camera to catch all the adorable things my 2-yr-old and 4-yr-old boys do.

  12. I need a new pair of Chuck Taylor Converse Sneakers!.

  13. I want the Pioneer Woman’s new cookbook! Thanks, Bakerella!

  14. Adorable cookies!
    All I want for Christmas is to be with my family and friends and enjoy the time together. Also, I want my mom to get better as she’s currently fighting breast cancer. Get Well Mom!

  15. My Christmas wish is for more hours in the day:) There is always too much to do and not enough time to do it in~ And, if it wouldn’t be too much, for a 60mm Macro lens for my camera (Nikon d80).
    You have such creativity! I’m constantly inspired by your work… thank you for sharing your gift with all of us:) You are more appreciated than you are aware of…. a million thanks!

  16. Oh, these are all sooooo cute!!! I would totally make a huge mess in my kitchen if I won, but that’s completely worth it! For Christmas I want my kids to have fun and also to learn about Jesus’s birth. I also want a white Christmas every year. I {heart} snow!!!

  17. I’d love to have a relaxing day with my husband.. and a nice camera too!

  18. I would love a new computer for Christmas!

  21. I want to have a memorable first Christmas with my baby boy!

  22. For Christmas, I would just like more time. More time to spend with my fiance, more time time to spend with our 3 boxers, and of course, more time to make sweets for everyone else in my life!

  23. Your cookies look spectacular!!
    My mom asked just the other day what I want for Christmas. My answer? Potholders! lol. Yes, how lame?! But the truth is, I have been using the same pair for eons and this is something I never think of getting for myself. I’d also love a gift certificate to a cooking class.

  24. Some time off of work. I’m working two jobs right now and life is crazy. I can use a nice long break.

  25. I want my family around me and for them to get everything they want from Santa!

  26. I want a rowenta iron. I hate having a not so hot iron when I am sewing.

  27. I want little (or big) elves to come fix dinner for my family every night!

  28. I want to be able to decorate cookies like that! But really, I want my family to be happy and healthy and feel loved. I also would like my teenager-in-20-days daughter to put down her cell phone, stop texting, and enjoy some sweet moments with the rest of her family. I would like the girls to stop picking on thier brother stuck in the middle between them. I would like to cuddle and enjoy the innocence of the youngest one just a little longer.

  29. I would love a new kitchen aid stand mixer. YOUr cookies are so cute!!!

  47. I’d like to finally win a contest, especially this one :) After finding your sight months and months ago, I’ve been baking more and more … but not decorating as much as I’d like.

    But for Christmas? Other than wanting an iTouch (or iPod Touch, but without the phone hookup) which I know I won’t get, I just want to have fun getting together with family. Less stress and more fun.

    Hmmm … will you be doing a gingerbread house on your website?

  48. I want my kids to enjoy Christmas and for it not to snow–hubby works for the road department. I worry so much when he is out clearing the roads. ( a travel sewing machine would be nice, too)

  49. I wish for a Christmas Miracle to give my father-in-law more time… He has pancreatic cancer and every day is precious! It really makes you remember every minute counts!

  67. Selfishly I’d love a nice new DSLR camera so I can take cool food pics like yours!

    Your cupcakes look great.

  70. OMG those are so cute! I have a cupcake obsession….I make the once a week and take the to work for my coworkers to devour.

  73. First of all, the cookies look amazing.
    Secondly, I have the xsi and I love it!!! For Christmas I would love to have a new lens for it. The 50mm to be exact.

  75. I reeeeeeeally want to impress my family with the gifts I’ve bought and to slow down and spend some time relaxing and having fun!

    tkglenn2002 at yahoo dot com

  77. Happy holidays! I want you to get your camera. You deserve it. It may sound like I’m thinking of you, but actualy, I’m thinking of me — well, really, us out here in the universe — as your photos are always spectacular and I, for one, can’t wait to read your blog when it’s updated. :)

  78. My unrealistic Christmas wish list includes a monogram machine. My realistic Christmas request is a Shark Steam Mop, which will help simplify the constant cleaning up after a toddler. I made your Red Velvet Cake Balls for a cookie swap last night, and won the best cookie! There were delicious!

  79. I’m feeling like a grown up and hoping for a decent set of knives this Christmas – finally time to get rid of all the crappy ones from when I was at University !

  80. I’d really love Photoshop Elements. I’m tired of looking at my pictures SOOC. I want to spice them up!

  81. Peace on Earth!!! and watching my grandchildrens faces opening gifts. I would like a stocking full of cupcake cookie cutters, cookie stencils and a cookbook!!!

  82. A trip back home and good times with family.

  83. I want all the laundry in my house washed, folded and put away! :)

  84. I wanted a Coach bag for Christmas, and my wonderful brother got me one!

  85. I want a popcorn popper for Christmas. I like making my own knock-off moose munch.

  86. Your cookies came out very nice. I enjoy working with royal icing. I too want to spend time with my family, but for the big red bow type of gift I would love a gas stove! I love baking and cooking and I don’t love my electric stove!

  87. I want some new Fiesta Ware!

  88. Those cookies are too cute! I think your piping looks great, and I love the designs and colors. Very creative. :) I would really like to have a salad spinner. I know that’s a boring housewife type item, but it’s one I would definitely put to use.

  89. I just want to get some good news about all my health issues going on and to spend time with my family.

  90. I want to remember the real reason for Christmas and be able to eat as much as I want without gaining an inch-miracles can happen right? By the way-your piping is a million times less lumpy than mine would be!:)

  91. I want a heart rate monitor watch that calculates how many calories you burn as you work out :-) that way I know how many sugar cookies I can eat after a workout lol.

  92. I want a DSLR

  93. I would like to lose 15 pounds….and still be able to eat all the christmas cookies I want!!

  94. I love the cookies, and the colors are great, too!
    I’m getting what I want most for Christmas and that is to be with my family! We live pretty far apart but we’ll get to spend holidays with them and the laughter and hugs and catching up are all the gifts I need!!

  95. Hi Bakerella,
    My Christmas list is very much like yours! I want to be surrounded by my family laughing and capturing the moments with my new camera!! Got it for my B’day a few weeks back…the awesome D90!!

  96. Icing sugar cookies is serious business. bravo! I did over 200 in various sizes and shapes this year, using both a glaze (similar to royal) and buttercream with meringue powder so it gets a nice crust. They look great, and I’m too afraid of royal icing to attempt it yet.

    This year for Christmas I want real vanilla beans and a Whirly Pop, not necessarily to use together.

  97. I want a new pair of slippers :) Simple, I know, but my two young boys love to pick out furry slippers for me!

  98. I want peace, quiet and sleep. I want my two children to 1)sleep through the night 2)sleep past 7AM and 3)be their sweet selves, although not at top volume, when they wake.

    It might take a Christmas Miracle.

  99. I love looking at your website and am inspired to try my hand at decorating cupcakes. I’ve tried for 3 years to convince my daughter to do cupcakes for my grandsons birthday party but it hasn’t happened yet…maybe this website will convince her. I’d love to win this!

  100. I want some quality time with just my husband and our 7 month-old baby :o). And cookies/caramels to munch on!

  101. Wow! Those cookies are so adorable! Almost too cute to eat!

    I would love a new lens for my camera (Canon 40D) for Christmas – secretly hoping for a 17–55 lens. Santa knows! :)

    Thanks again for all the inspiration. Hoping Santa fills your stocking full of all the things on YOUR list!

  102. I just love these! So cute!

    Let’s see, Christmas……Everything I really want, I just , discovered, it something that is used to keep me in-line! A new watch, an iPhone……wow – maybe I should just ask for a cave to crawl in sometimes lol!

    Love your site and oh yeah, I’ll take one of those cameras too!

  103. I want my husband to have the day off work for Christmas so that we can spend our first married Christmas together!

  104. I want to spend time with my family… living so far away from “home” means that I haven’t seen my dad since last Christmas and my grandmother the one before that.

  105. I would like more time for Christmas. Oh, and a pony…AAAAnnnd a place to put the pony… :)

  106. I wish for true love from the right man! Ok….I know this is a sappy wish but I have spent the last 18 years dedicated to raising my two children after a divorce and am ready to live my life again! Hurray!!! :-)

  107. Love the cookies. As for my wish list, I really need a extra bowl for my kitchen aide. I wisphered to the right ears, so i have my fingers crossed.

  108. i would like an iPhone, and free time each week to knit and read. not sure i will get either, but a girl can dream, can’t she?

  109. Cookies look great……my girlfriend does great cookies and has awesome tutorials on her site, sweetopia.net She too has used the Cookie Craft book and its a great resource.

  110. I want to pass my PhD qualifying exams.

  111. For Christmas, I want my family to start a new tradition that my kids will remember when they get older. I want to have a wonderful Christmas visiting family since I will not see them for the next 3 Christmases. Oh….and I’d take a new Dyson vacuum if someone wanted to give me one;)

  112. Dear Santa Bakerella,
    For Christmas I would like a new PC to be able to do my graphics stuff on (still student but soon…) and I would especially like my parents and friends to like my new albeit very different-to-what-I’m-used-to boyfriend…
    If I grin exaggerately, does it work better? Let’s try…
    :[]

  113. looking forward to spending christmas morning with my kids…first time in three years:)

  114. Your cookies are fabulous!! I think for Christmas I would really just love to spend a lot of quality time with my family and my husband. But maybe a trip somewhere warm wouldn’t be too bad either… :)

  115. I would love for my husband to get a raise so we can buy a new car! I want to be able to drive 12 hrs to visit my family a couple of times a year!

  116. All I want for christmas is some time to relax and hang with family!

  117. What a great giveaway! I’m looking forward to receiving a new Pampered Chef bar pan, since I broke mine a couple of weeks ago and really miss it.

  121. I want to spend a great time with my family and hope that everyone’s happy and healthy.

  122. We are going to visit my parents and I would like this to be a special time with lots of happy memories, she is losing hers, and I really hope that she will enjoy time with her granddaughter and we will be able to make her smile and laugh, I fear this may be the last one.
    On a silly note, I keep asking for a new cooling rack and baking sheets but my husband just laughs and says he wants a real suggestion…I know you all understand!

  123. I want a peaceful holiday with my family – and this cookie decorating set!

  124. I would love new bedding and decor for my room, new knives for my kitchen, a food processor, and a tropical vacation.

  125. I would like the pioneer woman’s cookbook and a pair of new running shoes to work off what I make. :) Happy Holidays!

  126. I want a nice relaxing all-inclusive vacation.

  127. OMG! I would love to win this! I am just giddy about this! I wrote the book down on my wish list already! I have to have it!

  128. I’m pining for a new HDZune… don’t think its in the budget, but that’s what I’d like!

  129. Those are SOOOOO cute!

    I’m asking for these super cute stainless steel measuring spoons with cupcakes on them!

  130. I just want to snuggle with the fam and watch White Christmas, It’s a Wonderful Life and Miracle on 34th Street. Maybe I can guilt even my husband into watching one or more of them–he’s allergic to musicals. :)

    Merry Christmas, Bakerella.

  131. I’d like a 1/4 ” scale miniature village! I saw it in the miniatures.com catalog. It’s on sale. :)

    But more than that, I love having my collegian siblings home for Christmas. I can’t wait!

  132. Would love to have everyone over our for Christmas this holiday season, mostly to help with healing of a lost loved one. Family and being thankful is the what the season is about anyway!

  133. I want quality time with my family!

  134. I want a great christmas full of baking awesomeness and happiness. :]

  135. I want a gift certificate to my favorite quilting shop!!

  139. i want a new house! we are trying to sell our house to move into a bigger one. we have a 16-month-old little girl and her toys are eating our teeny tiny house!!

  140. If I could have anything it would be to be free of our debt…but realistically I’m dying for some new clothes!

  141. Wow. Wow. Just wow! I would like the day off work on Christmas!

  142. I love Christmas because it is all about family and food in my house! My two favorite things.

  143. Love your blog. For Christmas I am hoping “Santa” comes through with a kitchen island. I have so little counter space and it’s difficult to get my cookie baking/decorating done.

    Merry Christmas!

  144. LOVE the cupcake cookies!! My daughter’s 1st birthday is coming up in March, and we’re doing a cupcake theme. These would be perfect to accent the cupcakes I’m going to make. The only thing I want for Christmas is to be with my family and enjoy watching my daughter experience her very first :)

  145. I would love to have a WHITE Christmas. Hopefully, the snow will stick around until the 25th! :O)

  146. I would love to have peace in my family for Christmas. No fighting just a great time with family and a real celebration. Barring that a winter coat would be great. :)

  147. What I’d like for Christmas is the scraping paddle for my kitchenaid mixer. Or, a balance board/wii fit. Or a new car. But seeing that I only receive presents from my 2 kids and Mom, only the first item is realistic. But, it’s fun to dream.

  148. As much as I want to spend Christmas with my son, and daughter-in-law, I can’t, due to distance. However, I want them to feel our presence in their hearts, and lives. I want their first Christmas as husband and wife to be wonderful, because the new year will bring with it a deployment to Afghanistan for 13-months. With that being said, I’d like for all our service members to feel their loved ones’ presence, and the peace that only Christ can bring.

  149. Oh these cookies are so cute! I love the colors!
    For Christmas, I want peace and quiet for a little while, my girls to listen to me and cooperate, play nice together and have dinner ready when Im hungry… The are 3 and 1 1/2, is that asking too much? Really, I need new measuring cups and spoons!

  150. These cupcakes looking amazing… and your photography is fabulous, to boot!

    This Christmas, I would love safe travels for all of my family and friends. And a KitchenAid mixer wouldn’t hurt…

  151. i would love a new camera to take pictures of my baby girl’s first Christmas.

  152. I want to be able to make cookies that look as awesome as yours! Cookies and I just don’t get along…I can’t bake them, I can’t decorate, I am not sure that I can even look at them without them mysteriously disappearing…ok, maybe I eat them…maybe…

  153. Merry Christmas! I would really like to have some peace of mind for starting out the new year.

  154. All I want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth LOL Just kidding but I would love for everyone to see and feel Christmas in the way children do. Full of awe, wonder and catching big fluffy snowflakes on your tongue. Yes that is what I want most for Christmas.

  155. I want the new Alice Munro book! And of course lots of hanging out time with my family.

  156. I would like to get something just for me…so I think that boils down to shoes or diamonds…but really I guess I am getting a new mobile as mine doesn’t work so well anymore-that is what happens when a 1 year old gets ahold of it…

  157. I want to create memories and start new Christmas family traditions now that I have a family of my own (my son was born 10/3/09)!!

    Thanks :)

  158. I would like to enjoy time with my family and learn how to cook. I will have some time off and want to experiment with the recipes I have been clipping from magazines.

  159. These are so adorable! You are being too hard on yourself with the lumpy line thing…they’re great! Dear Santa, I’ve been a really good girl this year and for Christmas I want a large dutch oven from Les Cruesett.

    I dream of waking up to snow on Christmas morning…
    Not rain, not grey London skies but a complete whiteout. Crisp, clean air, snowball fights, snowman building, the works.
    The perfect excuse to have a a real fire, christmas carols on as louldy as possible, the smell of a Christmas turkey in the oven, oodles of presents under the Christmas tree and to be surrounded by my loved ones.

    That’s what I’d like for Christmas please : )
