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.

    ER

  25. Great cookie post!
    What do I want for Christmas?…mmmmm….I’d love a stocking stuffed with goodies.

  27. I want to be able to play with my grandchildren on the floor while my children sit around laughing with one another.

  29. I want a shiny, new camera too! Just not as big as yours. Preferably a Sony WX1! (It is actually on its way and due tomorrow. It will be so hard knowing it is under the tree until Christmas!!)

  30. Yum! They look delicious, i’m going to have to try these :D
    For christmas i would like 5 tickets to wrestlemania 2010 for me, my cousins, my grandma and my aunt. But alas, i don’t have that kind of money, so i’ll settle for an “i’m going to wrestlemania” tshirt :D

  31. I want a scottish fold kitten!

  32. My kids asked me that last week, but they didn’t like my answer. I told them I wanted kids that obeyed the first time, every time, with a joyful heart. They wrinkled their noses and said, “Wouldn’t you rather have a chocolate Santa?” Guess I won’t be getting what I want. I’d rather win this contest.

  33. Sadly, I want another laundry basket. I only have one which means I can’t leave clean laundry in in for weeks on end if I need to do another load. :)

  34. Cute cookies! I want a pair of moccasins…I can’t keep my feet warm in this single digit weather!

  35. I want to spend time with my family… and I’m looking forward to holiday baking!

  36. I want, like, eight new pairs of knee socks, so that I can stop wearing the same two pairs under my boots every day.

  38. I would like to win this contest! And I would like a Kitchen Aid stand mixer (shiny and black, of course!) to help me make all the adorable things on your website!

  39. I am hoping for a pair of leopard Brighton sunglasses for Christmas! They would be something that is just for me. Hopefully they would make me look a bit more fabulous in carpool! Hehe

  40. Seriously, I WANT, no I NEED those cupcake cookie cutters! And a partridge in a pear tree…… :)

  41. love, love, love these (and the pix quality is fine). I would like to have more time to enjoy the crafts and baking I like, to spend it with my grandchildren, to practice piano more, to do more things I like to do, instead of things others wish me to do.

  42. My wish for this Christmas is for everyone to remember the true meaning of Christmas. We get so caught up in trying to find “the perfect gift” for each of our family and friends that we forget “the perfect gift” that was sent for all of us… Jesus Christ. May we celebrate Him this year!!

  43. All I want for Christmas is for my husband to make it home safe from Afghanistan after his year-long tour. Only 2 more months!!!!!! Merry CHRISTmas everyone!!!

  44. I really want a big, beautiful picture to hang over my new fireplace mantel.

  45. I’m not even thinking about Christmas yet – because today’s my birthday! And I can’t think of a better present than a stocking full of fun mini-things!!!

  46. If I could have just one wish for Christmas it would be that our family could be together to celebrate. It’s been a difficult year with the deaths of both of my parents.

  47. i with you…i want a monstrous amount of time with my family….and we all need it this year!!! my nanny died november 15th…just a few weeks ago, so in a sense, we are all wondering how it will feel to all be together…without her. BUT…to feel as a part of her IS with us, we are all making some of her famous desserts. she was an insane cook, so we are just hoping to somewhat do her justice! :) in that sense, we are all looking forward to it! and i also WANT this goodie bag :) i have a two yr old and i like your cute ideas to make for her and her friends at mothers-day-out. by the way, the cake pops are a HUGE hit for her and her lil buddies! thanks for all you do…you inspire lots of fun eating!

  48. i want a Cuisinart food processor!

  49. I am green with envy at your skills. You piping looks perfect to me!

    Anyway my wish for Christmas was for a little netbook. But my brother in law’s Dad was just given about 2 weks to live. So my new wish is that he sees one last Christmas with his family.

  50. I want to enjoy putting up and decorating a Christmas tree. We usually travel over Christmas and don’t get to do a tree but this year we are home for the holidays! Oh and a new lens and a flash for my camera!

  51. I would love to be done with everything I “have” to have done several days before Christmas, so I can enjoy the holiday with my family, without being all stressed out and frantic. I have a 2.5 year old daughter and almost 4 year old son. This year they really “get” it, and I’d love to just focus on spending time with them. Playing, making cookies, being silly, and enjoying the season.

  52. I really really want an iphone this year! That, or a baby :)

    But winning this contest would be a GREAT 3rd choice!

  53. A big new fancy video camera for making big fancy movies!
    The more expensive the better!

  54. I want an organized, unpacked and painted house. I’d also like a coach bag and some new luggage. :)

  55. I’m pleading with my 5 month old for 8 hours of sleep in a row for Christmas!!!

  56. I can not wait to see my children’s faces on Christmas morning after Santa comes! Through a childs eyes, everything is grand!
    Happy Holidays!

  57. Hola Bakerella, esta Navidad y en el Nuevo Año que viene, me gustaría poder consolidar mi pequeño emprendimiento. De paso te agradezco por tu gran página, ¡qué fuente de inspiración!
    Feliz navidad a todos, y que tengan dulces momentos en la cocina.
    Saludos desde Chile.

  58. I want to settle down real soon in Paris.

  59. I would like to have enough hours in the day to actually get everything done BEFORE christmas Eve!

  60. I want to be with my family too. I want to see everyone happy and sharing and loving each other. Oh, and I want music and scrapbook supplies. LOL

  61. I want that cupcake cookie cutter… so cute. I’m known as the cupcake lady at my children’s school. It would be fun to make the kids cupcake cookies… I really want a job for my husband, he’s been laid -off for too long. That would be the best present for our family this year and I’m sure we’re not the only ones.

  62. I can’t wait to see my little boy open his presents on his first Christmas!

  63. This year, we got the best gift of all… A healthy, baby boy! But, I would love a new lens for our camera too. Such a cute post!

  64. I already got it! My kids to all be home for Christmas this year!!

  65. I know it’s cliche, but all I want for Christmas this year is to enjoy the last days of 2009 with my family and the people I love. The holidays can get stressful and people tend to get caught up in the commercial aspect of it. I just want my family and I to enjoy being together.

  66. All I want. . . wait, wait I want a lot of stuff. Well I want for all out Christmas plans to go smooth. And I’m hoping Santa brings me a Epson 4490 photo scanner so I can save all those old photos that I’ve inherited. Thanks

  67. I love this site! Such cute ideas. For Christmas this year, I want everyone to get along.

  68. I’d like a job, a baby, or some really comfy socks. Any of those would be just lovely!!

  69. I want to spend it snuggled up with my boyfriend. tt’ll be our second Christmas, but the first we can spend together.

  70. I love your blog! I would like a winter where we all stay healthy… And to be able to decorate for Christmas without my 1 year old twins touching the tree!! :)

  71. I want a Canon Rebel SLR camera!

  72. I would really like a vacation for christmas. I want to go somewhere warm enough to wear shorts. And of course take my family. It’s been too long since we had one.

  73. I’d love a new camera!! :)

    I’m doubting you’ll get to read each and every one of these posts, but THANK YOU! Every time I decorate sugar cookies, I hate piping around the edges. I can pipe decently, but my issue is with the fill in the middle. It’s always a nightmare to get the icing thin enough and somehow manage to get it into a pastry bag without it slopping EVERYwhere. In your pictures I saw the squeeze-y bottle and a lightbulb went on!!! Thank you!!! I’d begun to avoid the outer lines altogether by just using a paintbrush and painting on the frosting and then decorating on top of the nice background, but this new trick will help too!!

  74. I’m excited to go home and get to spend time with my family this year. Also I hear I’m getting a new laptop, which I am beyond pumped for!

  75. i literally just want some peace and quiet…and lots of time to bake :)

  76. For Christmas, I just want everyone to have one. There are so many people out there who are less fortunate than we are, and I think that they all deserve some Christmas cheer. But that doesn’t just go for the less fortunate. It also goes for my family, friends, boyfriend, and everyone else, since I know that holiday stress can sometimes ruin Christmas for everyone.

    Everything in that little stocking is so cute! The cake tester is like a little wand for baking magic cookies. :p

  80. Great timing on the post my sugar cookie dough is chilling as I type. I like the way decorated your cookies. I may have to copy a few of you ideas. Would love to have a new cookbook.

  81. How lovely!

  82. What I would like this Christmas is for my husband who has been out of a job since May, right after our son was born and with unemployment being denied to find a job. It has been a hard trying year for us and just when we thought we were almost over the hump we fell back down. On top of all the unemployment, worried about how we are going to pay the bills stuff my brother passed away unexpectedly. It has been a hard hard year and really I want nothing more than for my husband to get a job offer and for us to have a sense of safety again.
    Oh and it would really help to win this prise :) Love all your stuff.

  83. Those cookies are way too cute!! I just want to be able to spend time with friends and family.

  85. I’d like to be able to spend christmas day at my parents house this year, unfortunately because of something that happened with my brother- in -law at thanksgiving ( he’s not very nice), I don’t see it being possible, I do however get to spend the day alone with my daughter, so that makes me happy :)

  86. i’m in the majority here, i want a new camera! i took a photography class years ago, and still don’t have my own!
    but, i’d probably settle for gift cards for crafting supplies. :)

  87. oooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh………………for Christmas I am hoping for super bowl tickets ……….and to win this giveaway!

    LAphant81@aol.com

  88. I would love to get a clothesline for Christmas. There is nothing better than the smell of line-dried clothes….

    Merry Christmas!

  89. What do i want this christmas….i want a full nights sleep!!!! Its hard being a new mummy, esp. when you are working yourself. these cookies look cute and this gift will surely cheer me up!

  90. the days leading up to Christmas are my favorite, because they are spent in the kitchen, and watching christmas movies!! i want fun times and memories with my family. I cant wait to see the look on my 3 year old brothers face when he sees what Santa brought, and letting him help me make cookies to leave for Santa. its all so exciting!

  91. I’d love some snow to go with our cold weather!!! I’m looking forward to hanging out with my family this year. I haven’t had Christmas with my Dad in over 10 years!!! I’m excited!

  92. I want to win one of the awesome Christmas give aways that are happening all over. It’d also be nice to make cookie for Santa and to have a day where nap time is easy… :)

  93. Enter Me please! :) thank you for this giveaway,for these holidays i want it to snow down here in Texas,for all of winter

  94. Dear Bakerella-

    For the holidays I would like, all my friends to be loved and happy and safe, to have lots of smilies and sweet treats, to find a bit of inner peace oh and I would love one of those shiny new Canon DSLR cameras too!

    Love
    Jamie

  95. Just to have my mom still with us… she’s battling stage 4 breast cancer and it would be so wonderful if we could share Christmas with her one last time.

  96. I love those cupcake cookies! It’s a combination of my two favorite things!
    Aside from spending time with my mom this holiday season, all I could really think to ask for was new liquid measuring cups. The ones I currently have are not marked properly & therefore, are really of no use!

    Happy Holidays, Bakerella! Thank you for making this year – bake-a-licious!

  97. I would love to spend lots of time with my sister and sister in law that are visiting for california for the holidays.

  98. A gocco printer … I dream …

  99. A new Kitchenaid mixer! I’m all thumbs with the baking, but I love to decorate. Unfortunately, the all-thumbs part of me managed to destroy my old trusty Kitchenaid and I’m making do with a $10 hand mixer! It just isn’t the same!

  100. Hi!!! :D WOW! I really love these cookies! I love anything that has to do with anything you do! lol …Anyway..I’d really love to spend my Christmas with my family, eating, talking, laughing, hanging out stuffed on the couch. :) …no gifts…just family and fun. :) Merry Christmas Bakerella!! :D

  101. I already have plenty of “stuff”. I just want my kids to enjoy their Christmas and think it is magical.

  102. I would love for my family to be able to experience our first white Christmas which I don’t think would happen as we live in Hawaii. But realistically what I would like is a full night of sleep. While pregnant the last two months was hot and uncomfortable so couldn’t sleep, then of course the baby waking every couple of hours and now that she is six months old and not needing midnight feedings, I still get up to pump! Between pumping and her getting up at 3:00 am wanting to play. I am tired at work and request for at least an 8 hour sleep! (Oh and to be able to create what you make)

  103. For Christmas I would like to feel less pain over the death of my mother. I wish for peace.

  104. You always share the most incredible things. Thank you. For Christmas I would like: well, truly to have all of my family together, but that isn’t happening this Christmas, so I would also like to have a movie camera. My grandbabies are growing up, and I’d love to capture them on film. Have a wonderful day.
    Valarie

  108. I want to go back to school…culinary school this time, that is!

  109. health and happiness!

  110. Cupcakes were the theme for my daughters baby shower last year at this time. Our Granddaughter Avery was born Jan.3,2008. She is the best Christmas gift I could ever ask for!

  119. I want a buyer for my house. We’re moving to another part of the country in a couple of months and it should would go smoother if our house sells.

  120. All I want for Christmas is a kitchen scale, well a scale to measure ingredients and one to measure how much I have been eating!
    Thanks

  121. What do I really want for Christmas?
    Besides winning this stuff?
    A Martha Stewart Kitchen Aid mixer.
    Oh yeah!

  122. your cookies are adorable!
    for christmas, i’m thinking a starbucks card. i can’t get through new york winters without mass amounts of chai latte =)

  123. I want to be able to spend more time with my family. You don’t realize how short life really is until you lose someone you care about.

  135. Of course I want health and happiness for my family… I want to be reassured that someday my house will be organized and that I will actually get around to hanging pictures on my walls… but in the meantime, what I really want for Christmas is a Keurig coffee maker so that I can always have a hot, fresh cup of coffee to help me get through it all!

  136. A new purse, a pair of Uggs, and a Vitamix!

  137. Oh, I love that!!! I’m hoping to have a great Christmas spent with my family (who I haven’t seen since LAST Christmas). If I had to pick one gift I hope I’m getting, I guess it would be a Kindle!

  158. I don’t need anything for Christmas. I have a great husband, three great kids and the best friends and family! Okay, maybe I would like to have the house to myself for a day :)

  159. I want a cricut machine or a scor-pal this year!! My wishes of spending more time with my family and being healthy for another year have been a blessing and I pray everyday for that. Love your blog!
    Merry Christmas!!

  160. OMG! These are SO cute!!!! You know what I want for Christmas… lessons on how to pipe cookies. I’m pretty crafty, but I just can’t seem to make a decent sugar cookie to save my life! Maybe I’ll win the book and learn how… I’m off to cross my fingers and toes!

  161. It’ll be my first Christmas with just our little family (we’ve got an almost 4 year old and an almost 1 year old). So, what I want for Christmas is for it to go happily. I want my oldest to understand what he’s doing and be amazed with everything. And I want my youngest to enjoy ripping off the paper. And of course I want the whole day to feel like a never-ending Christmas celebration, snow included, and for everything I bake to come out perfectly. I just want the feelings and sentiments to be as they are when I dream of Christmas.

  162. I would like a new camera also! My food photos never look perfectly clear on my blog. I’d also like a vacation to just about anywhere, warm or cold, I just love to go away! The cake tester and cupcake spatulas are adorable – I’d like those too :)

  163. I want to be able to make cookies like you do! They are beautiful!

  164. I want a purple handbag! And to chillax with my family!

  165. I want to watch my baby have a blast opening her presents, and maybe a new lens for my camera so I can get even better pictures of it!

  166. I want to be with family and have peace among them. Also some new clothes wouldnt hurt!

  172. i would love to receive a baby pink kitchen aid mixer! im crossing my fingers.

  174. Those are super cute!! I want a cricut for Christmas!!

  175. The cookies are so cute. You always make the cutest things.

  177. Well first off let me tell you the cookies are adorable, just like everything else you make! Love the cookies!

    For this Christmas I think I just really want my husband to get a good job. He has been jobless since the end of October and I’m expecting our 3rd son in February. So a great job for my honey this Christmas would be the best gift ever!

  178. I have already received my Christmas present! This Christmas I don’t have to work for the first time in three years! I am thrilled to be able to spend the day with my friends and family! I guess if Santa wanted to bring me a new car that would be okay too!

  179. I would really like a cake decoration turntable this year.

  180. I really wanted an iPhone, which I got a couple of weeks ago as an early gift! So now all I want is for my extended family to be happy and not cranky.

  188. This patent leather purse that I’ve been eyeing. My husband says it’s “hooker red” but I think it’s purty!

  189. This Christmas I would like everyone to be healthy!! It seems every Christmas someone always comes down with something! Also I would like to spend more time with my nephew and niece and the rest of my family since I don’t live that close to them.
    Merry Christmas Bakerella!

  190. Family is Christmas nothing more.
    Mimi

  191. What do I want for Christmas this year? Warm weather and a bottomless pit of a stomach LOL. My parents are visiting and that means eat eat eat!!!

    Maybe some Itunes gift cards and Crate and Barrel or oh Williams Sonoma cards!

  192. I want all those who are suffering (from whatever their hardship maybe this holiday seson) to be granted the Christmas miracle they are praying for.

  193. first off, I’d like to say that if you weren’t such a perfectionist, you’d see that your outlining came off wonderfully :-}

    Secondly, I know that what I’m about to say is going to sound like I’m some contestent at a beauty contest, but trust me, I’m NOT!!! What my heart desires most for this holiday season, is “peace” – at least in the families. No drama of any shape, sort or size would be absolutely delightful!!!

    The other thing thing which has topped my list for the past few years, was a new sewing machine. My husband took me to pick one out with in a specific price range last Friday. :-D I am GEEKED!!! So-o-o many projects I have in mind to tackle!!

    Thirdly – I would VERY MUCH like to win your current giveaway!!! I could go on and on with my reasons why, but seeings how you picked the parts of the package – I’m betting you already know the reasons :-D

    Merry Christmas!!!

  194. ….Well my family is large. We have 5 boys and one girl adopted. So holidays are always about spreading the moola as far as we can. But, I would really like to have a ring for my right hand. A mothers ring would eb great. I have left all the hints with Santa and told all 6 elves to tell Santa. I hope to see a little box for me under our tree.
    Ps. I LOVE this site! I really enjoy trying all the things I see and the children are always picking what they want me to try next!

  195. I want a new lens for my camera, Photoshop and a pair of Uggs!

  196. I would like to spend some time with my mom who’s been sick.

  197. I want to relax and enjoy life!

  198. I want time to do all the things I really want to do: spend time with my little family, cook, draw…

  199. I want to learn how to have time to do all the things I love to do – like baking and quilting – and still enjoy the Christmas season!

  200. All I want for Christmas is a full-time job! I just graduated from college in August and it’s been pretty rough in the real world!
