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.

For Christmas this year, I would love nothing more then to sit around the tree and enjoy the sparkle of the lights all 900 of them, and to watch my family enjoying their gifts, and to be able to spend a few quiet hours together under one roof. Snacking and sipping of course, and hugging and enjoying the warmth of the day. There is no gift better then this kind of joy and peace. Merry Christmas everyone.

    And for Bakerella to keep up the very inspiring, beautiful work for the 2010 year and beyond. You are truly a treasure, and I ge so excited when I see your emails arriving to my inbox!!! Such fun.

  13. I want a cast iron enameled dutch oven like the one Pioneer Woman always uses. I always drool over her cookware!

  14. I want to be able to make these adorable cupcake cookies!!

  15. I want my kids to continue to put smiles on the people and animals they draw. For me personally, a cake decorating class would be great!

  16. Seriously, imperfect piping? These cookies are perfectly adorable! No need for improvement.

    I would love a housekeeper for Christmas! More time with my kids, and less time cleaning! :)

  17. I want to be moved into our new house and get enough hardware store gift cards for Christmas so I can afford to paint the interior!

    Realistically for Christmas- I want a cute pie plate and some perfume!

    In a dream world I would like a tropical vacation before my 1st child is born in April. (A girl can dream can’t she….?)

  19. I would like safe travel home for the holidays and lots of good memories with my family. An acceptance letter for Grad school also wouldn’t hurt ; ) The cookies are amazing! I made a batch of sugar cookies for thanksgiving and loved decorating them! I’ve been wanting the cookie craft book ever since!

  20. Even your cookies are adorable! Don’t be hard on yourself. You did a better job than I could ever do!

    I want a Crate & Barrel that’s closer than 6 hours away for Christmas!

    Seriously, all I want is a job. I graduated in 2007 and still can’t find one!

  21. It would really be nice to be able to just relax and ENJOY the holiday. Spend time with my kids and my husband and not worry about who’s upset and what bad thing is coming next. Just be at peace for a while. And I don’t suppose chocolate in my stocking would hurt anything either :o)

  22. I would love the Pioneer Woman cookbook!

  26. Well, as sad as this is, we had to give our cat Knuckles up today… he is going to a better home where other animal lovers can give him the attention and the special care that he needs, and all I want for Christmas, is to have him back, healthy and happy. It has not even been two hours since he left, and I am heart broken. Merry Christmas everyone, spread the cookie cheer!

  27. I want to hug from my sweet almost 3yr old nephew who lives WAY too far away!!

  28. I want this cookie set for Christmas! I am going to a cookie exchange and these tools can help me win one of the prizes!!! That cake tester is TOO cute!

  30. I just want a healthy baby girl in May :-)

  32. I want some time to sit down!

  33. I want to bake up a storm! There is something therapeutic about baking on a cold snowy day– with some good Christmas music playing, then venturing out and delivering all the treats to neighbors and friends.

  34. I simply would like a haircut!

  35. This Christmas, all I want is for my dad to beat cancer. He is scheduled for surgery on December 28th, and I can’t seem to think of or want any thing more than for him to make it through this surgery with flying colors. With two small children I am doing my best to try and make their Christmas still special, but it is hard while praying every moment of the day that my dad will make it through this.

    On a more upbeat note, my kids would LOVE for me to make those cupcake cookies (and many other cookies!) to brighten their day!

    Keep up the great work Bakerella! You make me smile during these cloudy days!

  36. a pony made of gold! Actually just a nice peacful day with family and friends.

  37. Quality time with my husband. And a damn fine meal!

  38. That’s just too much cuteness! I want an outside freezer so I can stock up on cooking and/or sales. I love to bake, but hate to cook. :) I’d also like a new camera. :) But, I think it would be wonderful to have a huge family gathering at my house to celebrate even more than gifts. Thanks, and Merry Christmas!

  39. I want…. my house to be done. We’ve been doing a long term remodel… and the stress is getting to me.

  40. All I want for Christmas is a whole bunch of baking supplies. I started my website a few months ago and need some more supplies so that I can make more recipes.

  41. i would love a yellow kitchenaid mixer for christmas

  42. This holiday season I want safe travel for all. I would especially like to see all of our troops safely home for the holidays (dream big!). I would like my girls (4&6) to find the true meaning of Christmas under the tree with all the goodies.
    They have helped me (with neighbors 8 & 10) make 8 batches of cookies so far to package and give away. We will also make some doggie bone cookies for our furry friends. Thanks!

  43. All I want is my husband’s health.

  44. I only ask to be happy & spend a good time with my family.

  45. I want my wedding to be planned for me, so I can sit back and relax and enjoy the holidays!

  46. I would love a kitchen aid mixer….but there’s no where to put it in my tiny kitchen. So a new set of pots and pans would be nice….

  47. What I want for Christmas is to be able to get pregnant soon, also to have a relaxing day with my small, but happy family!

  48. I just want to get home safe to TN and have a wonderful time with our family. =)

  49. I want to spend time with my family and watch my son enjoy his first Christmas!!

  50. A bigger kitchen would be nice but impossible.

  51. I want a house of my own! No more renting!

  52. I want to have the day off since I was scheduled to work Christmas… Who works Christmas, there should be a law!

  53. I actually already got what I wanted for Christmas, a Kitchenaid Stand Mixer. So I’ll focus on what I want to give, which is zillions of beautiful cookies and cupcakes baked with lots of love!
    P

  54. I’d like my kids to be home for Christmas, but their jobs will require them to work the day before and after, so it’s not happening. We will get together sometime in January, but it isn’t the same.

  55. I have spent the last 3 major holidays without my soul mate. This Christmas I look forward to spending all my time with him and the two wonderful beings that we’ve created together. Thank you US Navy for giving me my husband this Christmas.

  56. I want my family to remain healthy, and I would love to bring a little one into this world next year!

  57. Well, now I want all those things you just shoved in that stocking. BEFORE I saw those I was jonesing for a 6.5 qt enameled cast-iron french oven…or a really awesome shaped Nordicware pan, I’m flexible.

  58. I want to my kids to have the best Christmas!

  59. I want an SLR camera and lenses.

  60. I just want to have a happy and healthy year for my family and I. and a new iphone wouldn’t hurt either. lol

  61. For Christmas I would like Grandma and Grandpa to stop buying toys for the kids and get them swimming lessons instead! :)

  62. I want to spend time with my family, playing games and watching movies. If snow is involved, even better.

  63. For Christmas this holiday season I would like to have all of my family healthy and able to travel to Mexico for our wedding next October!

  64. okay…those cookies are way too cute!

    what do i want for Christmas? a sparkly stocking filled with a cookbook and fun cookie cutters…oh, and a totally unnecessary, but extremely cute cake tester :)

  65. I’d like a sentimental love letter from my husband.

  66. I love your ideas! I want a new camera to take pictures of all my cute kiddies(7 in all).

  67. I want good knives. It is pretty difficult to cook with horrible knives. Everything I want it kitchen related so this would be a wonderful addition.

  68. I want my husband to get his new dream job -that would make both of us happy all year long!

  69. I would like a more challenging and stable job :)

  70. All I want for Christmas is more time to finish my projects…actually that would be an early Christmas gift.. Ho Ho Ho !!!!!

  71. Oh my goodness – those cookies are adorable. I LOVE decorated sugar cookies. But, I really want time with my cutie pies and slippers! Hope that camera shows up under your tree.

  72. Ooh…beautiful!!! Your posts are always so inspiring…even simple cookies! YUM!

    What I want for Christmas this year…well, love, togetherness and all that jazz, of course :) But in terms of material goodies…I really, really want a Chanel 2.55 bag! But since they raised their prices yet again, I think I’m out of luck. Sigh…maybe you can do a tutorial on baking Chanel purses? =P

  73. Those are such cute cookies!

    And I can never get enough cookbooks =)

  74. I would love to win this for Christmas!!!

  75. I’d like to have some nice knives. How is that for Christmas-y?

  76. I would love to have a new purse. I’ve had my current one for 6 years and it’s falling apart. Maybe my dear hubby will get the hint. :) By the way, your cookies are adorable. You have inspired me to make some decorated cookies for my daughters 2nd grade class. I hope they turn out as cute as yours.

  77. My unselfish answer: I want my kids to have the best Christmas ever!

    My selfish answer: Shoes, clothes, jewelery, new purse, perfume, etc, etc, etc.

  78. I want to spend Christmas with my beautiful family!!

  79. What I want more than anything is for my family to get over all the “drama” and just be glad we are all healthy and happy…but I don’t think that’s going to happen, so a quite Christmas at home with my immediate family will be great :) I’m a lucky girl and don’t want for much…so peace is always on the top of my list.

    Happy Holidays!

  80. I would love some snuggly PJs!

  81. This will be the first time in 7 yrs that I celebrate Christmas with my parents, siblings and their children. I am so excited!!

    I’d love for Santa to bring me a new Rebel camera, some new cookie sheets and silpats. Maybe a giftcard or two to Old Navy and VS, LOL.

  82. To continue to be happy at home with my family, and a pair of rose gold earrings.

  83. “I want to spend time with all my family. Laughing. Hugging. Eating. And I want to take lots of pictures of them with my brand new, big, shiny camera. Yeah, that sounds good.”

    I have to ditto what you said…I’ll be receiving a new camera, too! And, I can’t wait!!!

    Oh, and the cookie stocking woud be wonderful to receive as well! Cheers to you all!

  84. My Christmas wish: To be able to give my kids an amazing Christmas even though we’re struggling … there truly is nothing more important to me than the happiness of my 3 little ones!!

    And don’t be so hard on yourself :o) Your piping looks great!

  85. OMGosh I would love to win those goodies! I have been obsessed with mastering making perfect cut-out cookies, and although I’ve improved greatly, I still have a long way to go.

    For Christmas I would love to just sit back and enjoy watching my 3 little ones open their gifts, instead of running all around town, to see all our family. We can save the visiting for the day after Christmas. I just want to enjoy all the wonder of Christmas was my children are young:o)

  86. Hmmm i want….. a lot of love and happiness and a great xmas family trip to Las Terrenas, Samana :) But like Santa is like uber rich why not a new car!lol
    Merry Xmas XD

  87. I want a happy and healthy family….and maybe a new pair of jeans!

  88. I want a Kitchenaid Stand Mixer…but seeing as how I have to buy my own presents, I can guarantee it won’t happen this year. But I did buy me a new GPS :) lol.

  89. A remote car starter…perfect for this uber-frigid weather we’re having (-31C/-24F…brrr!)

  90. I want to find a new direction for the new year.

  91. Happy and Healthy Kids!!!

  92. I want to have a great time with my family, with lots of food and sweet treats. I want us to look back on this year and be grateful we have each other and our health. Its been a year full of challenges!! Great cookies. : )

  93. I want a kitchenaid mixer so I can start making all these great recipes! And I would love a ring…

  94. I really really want a Snuggie. Oh and world peace. :)

  95. Love them! 14 year old son wants to make some. Might be scary ones – but he thought he would make them pretty for the neighbor’s cookie tins we make. :)

  96. For Christmas I want my mom to find the perfect house she has been looking for in ages. She really deserves some happiness!

  97. Hmmm. I’m planning to enjoy time with family and a good meal.

    I’m into essential oils right now and would like a diffuser for Christmas & this book you’re giving away! :)

  98. The Pioneer Woman Cooks! No joke!

  99. I would love to just spend time with my family and friends, but my tangible thing I want is a new sewing machine.

  100. I want to play with my kids and their play kitchen that their grandmother is getting them. : ) And I’d love some new baking pans for me.

  101. I wish I can spend time with my family but I can’t…
    A job for my husband.

  102. First of all I want to know how I missed PioneerWoman being in town! For Christmas I want a smooth transition to “married” holidays for my hubby & our families. This is the first year I won’t attend Christmas eve services with my family, and the first year he won’t have Christmas breakfast with his…so my Christmas wish is that it will all go smoothly as we start our own traditions!

  103. My birthday is exactly one week before christmas. This year I asked for a Pink Stand Mixer!

  104. A job for my husband

  105. Bakerella! You are very talented….I wish I could pipe only half as good as you! Maybe that should be my Christmas wish! Seriously this Christmas I am wishing for good weather so that we can go see my family. Time with family is priceless!
    Remember everyone to “Live simply so that others may simply live.”

  106. I hope to catch the exact moment my kids see there gifts under the tree in a picture.

  107. I want to enjoy my time off work with my family. I don’t see them nearly as often as I should.

  108. My little girl is now old enough to enjoy Christmas and all it brings. I’ve already got my present just watching her get so excited about all the little things. This is what Christmas is all about!!

  109. I’d like a boyfriend and some adorable cupcake cookie cutters!

  110. I need and want new clothes. Losing 70 pounds means nothing fits.

  111. All I want to do is spend time with my family in the kitchen! Cooking and baking up some awesome goodies!

  112. It would be nice to finally hear about the baby God has chosen for us through adoption. It has been a long wait but I know it will be worth it.

    By the way, I wish my lumpy piping looked as great as yours! Great job once again. You know sometimes you make things too good to even consider messing them up by eating them! Merry Christmas!

  113. a queen sized electric blanket for those cold winter nights

  114. My greatest Christmas wish is health and happiness for my whole family. That being said, I would really like the same camera you have :) It takes the most beee-utiful shots. Although I’m sure your talent has something to do with it, too!

  115. I want my boyfriend for Christmas… Or better yet, I want him to become my fiance!
    I sure love him.

  116. i’m kind of ready for the season to be over. I know that sounds grinch-like, but for the first time ever, I have to work on Christmas (and not only Christmas, but Christmas Eve, and the day after Christmas!!!). I live in a city that’s about 900 miles away from my family and I’m bummed that I wont be able to spend the holidays with them.

  117. I would absolutely LOVE a Fisheye lens and a good flash for my DSLR that I got for Christmas last year :)

  118. I want to spend lots of time with my family…playing board games, card games and just relaxing together.

  119. I just want to spend the day with my family. I love to watch the kids’ faces light up with all the Christmas magic (and the smell of turkey!!)
    Christmas is also a time for cookies. Love cookies. I make about 25 different kinds each year, to give away to family and friends, and would love some new ideas!!!
    Love your cupcake cookies – they are adorable!

  120. The cookies are so stinkin’ adorable! :)

    There are so many things I want… but most of all I would just like to have a stress free Christmas with my family. Maybe a little snow on the ground, but not to much! Ooh maybe a vacation with the hubby would be nice too like some one else said!

    Happy Holidays to you and your family!

  121. At Christmas I love being with my family. Me and my mom and sometimes my dad spend the holiday in the kitchen baking, cooking Christmas dinner, etc.
    So for Christmas I would really enjoy a new Kitchenaid mixer : ) Or a kindle so I can easily access recipe books !

  122. I just love making cookies, especially around the holidays! This book would be a welcome addition to my other cookie cutters and books :)

  123. Hi Bakerella! For Christmas, I would love to move into my new house, but that is very unrealistic right now…so I would love a nice flat screen TV for our bedroom, or more seriously, a bunch of baking gadgets and cake decorating supplies so that I can get more creative and challenge myself more in the kitchen. By the way, I totally love those cupcake cookie cutters!!

  124. I want my new kitchen to be done. lol I also want a happy and healthy year for my family.

  125. What a great gift! I love the cupcake cookie cutters :)
    For Christmas, I’d love to give my dd a zhuzhu pet. It has officially become a challenge and I have the nowinstock alert to hunt it down ;)

  126. All of the above! And world peace and a home for every kitten.

  127. Uggs please!

  128. I want to spend time with my new husband (4 months) and my family! I also wouldn’t mind some interior decorating books/supplies and cake decorating books/supplies. I love these cookies! So cute!

  129. This year for Christmas I would like to have…. a new Christmas cookie craft book! :o) That book looks like it would be full of great ideas, and I love the little stocking stuffers you have included.

  130. What a cute gift! You are always so generous. As for my Christmas wish- I just want to be able to sit back and watch my 2 year old experience all the joys of the season.

  131. I live in a house that only has a shower, and for Christmas I want to go somewhere that has a bathtub and take a long bath.

  132. I really want a cookie scooper! You know…the ones that look like ice cream scoopers except for cookies.

  133. These cookies are so cute! For Christmas I want to just be able to spend time with loved ones and not have to worry about anything other than each other for at least that one day! :)

  134. My Christmas present came early this year. I got a brand new cookbook signed by the one and only “Pioneer Woman” and I got to meet my favorite foodie, Bakerella! Other than that I just love to watch my kids get their gifts and spend time at home with my family. Love the cupcakes in chocolate dough!

  135. I want to be able to have a day at home with my husband watching cheesy movies and baking while it snows outside!

  136. I want a cupcake carrier that holds jumbo cupcakes! I’ve searched everywhere for one!

  137. I want my kids to have a wonderful Christmas. And I wouldn’t mind a new laptop.

  138. Well, I would like to go on an a trip to Paris, Rome, or London, but I’ m pretty sure I’ ll spend it at my sister’s house with the kids running around and opening presents. And if I am lucky, I will go out with my friends as well. Now that I think about it, it’s better this way. I will go to Paris, Rome or London next month :P

  139. I want a kitchen aid mixer

  140. All I want for Christmas is to be with my boyfriend of 3 years again. And to feel that warm Christmasy feeling like when I was little.
    I also really want to win this! :)

  141. what i want for x-mas? all of the adorable mini cupcake things on this post!! :D j/k. i really want a sewing machine. i’ve been hinting… i mean, TELLING… my hubby that’s what i want, but for some reason he doesn’t get it. i’ve done this for the past 2 years for my b-day AND x-mas. oy.

  149. I am hoping for a Linda Dillow book, Iowa State University t-shirt, Jcrew cardigan and safe travels for both sides of the family!

  150. well…..i had a 50mm nikon lens on my Christmas list….but since I just found out that my self-employed husband had to take a very, very considerable pay cut…..the lens is off the list.
    I’m just glad for the family that God has given to me. They are such a blessing!

    My Christmas wish…..a happy holiday with family!

    Your cookies turned out really cute!

  156. I want to spend the holidays with my 22-month-old niece and just enjoy the time with her (especially since I live a good distance away) before she grows up too fast!

  157. Love the cookies! Sooo cute. For Xmas, I want some fresh, warm cinnamon buns, hot coffee, my hubby and my 2-year old. The last three are easy – the first, well, I’m hoping Santa takes care of those.

  158. I want a new camera! Merry Christmas!
