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.

    This Christmas I would like to loose weight over the holidays or at the very least, not gain an ounce just by looking at tempting treats! I’m dreaming of a white Christmas, without driving through a snow storm to go “home for the holidays”. I pray my kids are healthy and happy, appreciative of their gifts and family and this may be asking for too much; help out without being asked or nagged. Peace; internally, family-wise and globally! To top off my greedy Christmas Wish List I really want money—Santa bags full of the green stuff.

    Christmas Blessings!

  53. Time spent with family and good friends is what I hope for this year! So thankful for The Gift that was given thousands of years okay!!

A BIG Kitchen Aide to replace the 325 watt, 4.5 quart one that I have just about worn out… My sweet adorable loving husband surprised me last week with a new 575 watt, 6 quart mixer.. Oh my it is awesome!! Now I need to win this prize so I can bake bake bake!

  57. I just want my family to be happy & healthy & to help my sister get thru her cancer treatments & to be thankful for my job & on becoming a 1st time grandma next year!!

  58. I want my husband and I to be happy together again… that’s all I want.

  59. All I want for Christmas is the new Barnes & Noble Nook! Too bad it’s not shipping till January…

  60. A KitchenAid mixer would be awesome, but a peaceful 2010 would totally suffice!

  78. Your cookies look fantastic! You may say you have problems with the piping, but to my untrained eye, they don’t even show! We actually spent time with my family this past sunday making our own family favorite Christmas Sugar Cookies. It’s tradition and the ONLY time of year I”ll make them since they’re so time consuming AND so rich tasting. Yeah, it makes the season fun and fluffy.

  79. I want some new tv shows on dvd to watch while I’m on Christmas vacation.

  80. This is what’s on my Christmas wish list this year – a set of silicone spatulas and a silapat baking mat. If Santa brings them to me I can use my wonderful prize to bake some of these delightful looking cookies!

    dorisandpete@hotmail.com

  81. I want a Canon Rebel XSI and the “magic lens” that you inspired me to want. (Oh, and all that family stuff too. Grin.)

  82. I want the new Jude Deveraux book that is due out on 12/29. It won’t be under the tree, but I’ll still get that day to curl up and read. YAY!! Sorry about the camera. :/ that just stinks. Just remember: dropping = bad

  83. I want everyone to get exactly what they want for X-mas.. and I want to spend time with the family and have the cleaning fairy to arrive when we are done and take care of the mess..

  84. I’d like healthy kids for Christmas! Seems like December is the month of colds and viruses and missing school.

  85. I’m desperate for a digital SLR camera. It’s not going to happen, but a girl can dream…right? :)

  86. A job and an apartment so I can move out of my parents house.

  87. I just want to spend some time with my Grandkids .. Nothing better then seeing them smile and having fun. On Christmas Vacation we are taking them to a water park motel. Can’t wait !

  88. Fun!! with my family :)

  89. I want my husband to believe that I’m okay with not getting many presents this year. We bought a house a couple of months ago and we have each other and an adorable little girl. What else could I possibly want? Except winning this maybe!

  90. i love-love-love your cupcake cookies! they are soooo fantastic! all i want for christmas is a happy & healthy pregnancy… 23 wks down & 17 wks to go! :-)

  91. This Christmas, I want to relax. My classes are over for the semester on Friday, and it’ll be the first time in four months that I will have a chance to bake, clean, and generally be the wife I haven’t been lately. I want to absorb the nearly four weeks of pure freedom. You know, except for that job-thing I have to go to every day.

  92. I just love your blog. You make me want to stay home and bake now. For Christmas I would like to be able to just stay at home with my hubby and two boys. We wouldn’t have to go out of the house and I would cook breakfast, lunch and dinner for the 4 of us. It would just be a relaxing day.

  93. all i want is a wafflemaker

  94. I would like to win this for Christmas since I love to bake.

  95. How cute is this? I love little tiny cutsie things !
    I would love a cookie book and those cutters are adorable! Your site is so informative and entertaining, I love the new posts and look forward to them to cheer me up.
    I am disabled due to multiple back surgeries, fusions, etc and since Im at home a lot now, I have found the wonderful fun of baking! Who knew? Your site is very helpful, thank you so much!
    When Im baking, I feel very happy, and love giving away my goodies which I make up in little decorative boxes and paper that I find at Christmas Tree Shops, and Michaels Crafts, etc…
    It distracts me from my constant pain.
    All I want for Christmas…? hmm thats a good one. If I could get my wish, I’d wish for everyone to have their homes, everyone whos struggling financially to have money…and all children to have a magical Christmas…
    for myself? I wish for a pain-free holiday full of fun,music,food, and good gut-busting laughs! I’d also love a baby ;)
    Thanks again for the site and constant fun it brings :)

  97. I would like to be home in California with my family!!!

  100. I want a new set of pans for Christmas this year. I’d like the red Paula Deen set.

  101. I want a new lens for my camera…for sure!

  102. You never cease to amaze me – those cupcake cookies are amazing! I’m not sure I’d be able to give any away – I would probably just set up lots of photo shoots and take pictures of them :)

    For Christmas, I am looking forward to time with friends and family – many of whom we don’t get to see as often as we would like to…oh and some new Uggs ;)

    Thanks for hosting such a fabulous drawing!

  103. Oh! My goodness! Those are so cute!! I wish I could bite into one!! You always make the cutest things of course!!

    This Christmas I am just hoping for a Happy Christmas!! I am hoping that we can all enjoy the Holiday and spread love and memories all around for my kids!! I just delivered a baby 2 weeks ago, so I am also hoping to lose the last 10 pounds I gained and not gain more from eating all the yummies!! :-p

  104. Besides spending time with friends and family all I want this Christmas is books to flip through..books to cook from…books to share with good friends (and perhaps a few baked goods to eat while reading the books….)

    *By the way, your pictures are lovely as always!*

  105. I want to sit around and do nothing! Seriously.

    Saw you at the PW signing but I didn’t say hello. My friends and I had a great time people watching while we were waiting.

  115. If I could wish for anything this Christmas it would be a baby. My husband and I have been trying for 3 yrs and we have signed up for adoption. We’ve only been waiting for 4 months but it would be a dream come true if we received a baby for Christmas!!

  116. I want to go on a date with my husband without having to pay an arm and a leg for a babysitter for my 5 kids! :) Merry Christmas everyone! Hope everyone gets what they want this year! :)

  117. I want my cousin to finally be recovered from her bone marrow transplant she had in September, all the side effects and complications to be done with so she can come home!!!!!

    And selfishly, our money problems to be over with so we don’t have to worry every day.

  118. Ohhhh Bakerella, you never forget to amaze me with your wonderful talent!

    For Christmas, I would like……….

    Nothing, except for wonderful health of myself and my family. Quality time with my hubby. and a baby. Not at Christmas time, but maybe later on this year =)

    Merry Christmas to all!

  119. A relaxed holiday with friends and family.

    Mary.Mimi

  121. All I want for Christmas is a job, haha. I graduated from law school six months ago and have been looking for a job for 14 months. This week I turn my Starbucks application in.

  122. I just want my kids to be happy. Christmas here is going to be tiny and I don’t want them to feel like they were bad or did something wrong. All I want is them to feel content with what they get and with that I will be happy.

  123. This is a tough one! Truly, I want to have a great holiday with all my family, and inlaws! Its our first Christmas for my son, 7months, so its going to be a special holiday! For me, I have my eye on a new purse, but I am trying to be good and focus on our real “needs” – with a baby, they seem endle$$.

  128. i.really.need.a.vacation. (but a sparkly stocking filled with cute baking stuff would also put an uber huge smile on my face!)

    in all seriousness, I just want fun filled times with my wee family and for health and prosperity to follow them all the sing song way! : )

  129. I really want a Kitchenaid Stand Mixer, but since I am a college student, I will settle for a hand mixer!
    But mostly, I just want to enjoy this wonderful time of year making memories with my family and boyfriend, instead of pouring over school books. And maybe get some leisure reading and baking (those adorable cookies) done, too! :)

    Merry Christmas!
    Bakerella, I absolutely love you. When I make goodies for people they always call me a little Betty Crocker, but I always ask them to call me a little Bakerella! :)
    I hope you and your family have an amazing Holiday Season!

But truth be told, even without comparing, I’m just not happy with my fuzzy pictures & my camera’s SSSLLLOOOOWWW delay. The budget is always a concern which is why I haven’t mentioned it.
