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.

  2. I want a new camera too!

  3. Love your cookies! I would really like more time to make more cookies myself!

  4. I want my pets to stay healthy for more than a couple of months at a time. That would be fantastic.

  5. I want all this cute baking stuff to become available in Turkey!!!!Yes, I live in Turkey, yes I have 7 children, yes, I have offically lost my mind! :) Love all the cuteness on here, just wish it was easier for me to recreate here!

  6. Honest answer: a red kitchenaid stand mixer pro 600.

  7. I would love to get a Mac computer so I can edit my photos!

  8. The last time I went all out and baked up tons of cookies for the holidays was about 15 years ago, but this makes me want to give it another go. And, as fate would have it, I have a box of gingerbread cookie mix just waiting to be transformed into something yummy and cute.

    So for this Christmas, I would like the gift of time- time to create, time to share, time to laugh with friends and family.

  9. I want happy healthy kids (which I think I have right now)! But for me, Beatles Guitar Hero… yes I am 36 and yes that’s what I want! : )
    Kelly

  10. Oh my gosh I’d LOVE for my husband to hire a house cleaning service for me for a year! Then I’d love to take a vacation to Florida for a month to spend time with my mom. And if Santa wants to surprise me with a digital SLR I won’t complain either. :) LOL

  11. What I really want is some money to make some fun purchases on etsy.com. I want to explore hair bow making and make a felt quiet book for my little girl. Too many project ideas and unfinished projects already, but I love to dream/plan.

  22. Wow, these cookies are so CUTE !!!

    This beautiful ‘cookie baking kit’ is exactly what i want for Christmas!

    I also want to spend time with my family and friends and enjoy …

  23. There’s always some new material thing that I see and think to myself I wouldn’t mind having that, but I must say that I really do feel like I already have everything I could ever need or want…I guess I would just like to keep it that way!

  24. I would love to get a kitchen aid mixer.

    Those cookies look sooo yummy.

That is what I want for the holiday, to build more family memories. Thank you Bakerella!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  40. All I want for Christmas is to be able to have enough time to rest and enjoy the holiday festivities with my family.

  43. I want a white christmas. Just had a ton of snow on a work trip and now I really want a white christmas, just once…please? Is that too much to ask? (Maybe it is, seeing as how I will be in Ventura, CA for Christmas this year). :)

  44. I just cannot resist entering for this! I want to make this Christmas the best one ever for my family!

  45. I’d love to win this for Christmas this year!! DH and I decided not to exchange gifts this time around so I’m really not looking for much. But this would be so fun!!

    Time with family that I have been apart from on all holidays for over ten years. To be in one place again is awesome.

    I’ve also asked for a replacement for my iPhone that I washed in the washer. The iPhone 3Gs would be the perfect camera/video/mobile blogging tool to document these precious memories forever. :)

  54. love all that yummy cupcake goodness! thanks for the chance to win :)

  55. I want the same thing for Christmas as do every year .. my family and friends to be happy and healthy and for a nice get together where we can laugh and sing carols. But as an added bonus this year I am hoping for some nice hand dyed + spun yarn :)

  56. All I want for Christmas is to be near my family and enjoy their company without distractions.

  73. I would like to win this for my daughter Melissa. She really deserves a treat. She makes cookies for different occasions and decorates them and then puts them in unusual containers. She recently made them for table decorations for her work. A lady asked her to make some for her grandmother’s 101 birthday and even though she wasn’t feeling well she made them that night. She has been stressed a lot lately and really could use a unexpected treat.

  74. I want an oven big enough to fit normal sized cookie sheets!

  75. Love this contest!! I want time with my family as we know it now. This will be my daughter’s last Christmas at home before she gets married-we are excited about it.

  82. I would love some new running shoes and a new garmin forerunner… need to work off all of the holiday food!

  96. I want a warm and cozy Christmas with loved ones all tucked in by the fire and snow outside!

  97. I want this Cookie Cutter set for Christmas! I also want to relax and have fun with my sweet husband.

  98. Those cookies are too adorable!

    For Christmas, I would love to have a relaxing break at home with my family and NO STRESS. In my fantasy world, I would get that plus a KitchenAid mixer and a Nikkor 50mm 1.2 lens. :)

  99. The best Christmas gift would be for my husband to find a job so we can keep our house. I am thankful for being healthy and having a healthy son and husband.

  107. Hmmm…. I guess I didn’t realize that I really want a cupcake shaped cookie cutter for Christmas! Does Santa read this blog?

  108. I would have accepted an early present of being able to attend that book signing. Alas, Hubs had to work late and all 3 kiddos were sick that night. So close, yet so far away.
    I’d love to get a new camera too, but I think something along the lines of a little MP3 player for audio books is more likely.

  109. What I want for Christmas is a stress free day with everyone just enjoying being together-a relaxing and wonderful holiday.

  110. I want quality time with family and another bowl for my kitchenaid.

  111. I want a KitchenAid Stand mixer so my arms can have a break! I’m not trying to compete with the hulk!

  113. I want my mom to have a good Christmas. My dad just recently passed away, and while my mom was doing better before the holidays came, she’s definitely depressed and lonely. *sigh* I just want her to have a great holiday weekend with us (her kids). That would be AMAZING.

    And it would be even more amazing if I could win this giveaway and share some cookie-baking time with her. Just like when i was little. :)

  114. All I want for Christmas this year is a new bookcase for my overflowing collection.

  116. I want a new oven!
    Mine is on it’s last legs. How can i bake all this cuteness without it??

  117. I want my husband and I to find career happiness next year. And to bake lots of goodies (that’s for me, not him :)

  118. This year for Christmas I want to be surprised by something unexpected and some kind of fancy jewelry would be nice too!

I would honestly just like to have a nice day at home with my girls and hubby and all of us to be over our colds, coughs. etc. Seriously. If Santa happened to bring a Kindle to me, I might be ok with that too. ;)

  120. I want my family to be able to celebrate together with everyone healthy and NOT in the hospital!

  121. Those cookies are adorable crooked lines and all! :) I LOVE those cupcake cookie cutters.

  122. I want everything to start looking up for us and for our family to just be healthy this coming year. The economy will not pull us down darn it. I am going to start my baking maybe that will lift my spirits.

  123. I can’t wait to go home and visit my family. I’m a busy college student, and I don’t get to cook and bake as much as I would like to, so I would love to spend time baking Christmas cookies with my mother, and pretend I’m a little kid again.

  124. It’s the first year in 7 years that our whole family is home for christmas !!!! So I think I already got my wish :) But it would also be cool to have my school tuition paid for . . . . . for some fabulous baking stuff (wink wink)

  129. All I want for Christmas are some new ZIPP wheels for my other passion – biking.
    Thanks for all of your great ideas!!

  130. My sister to be healthy.

  131. For the first time since I moved to the West Coast, I want it to snow. Just a couple feet. And maybe, just maybe, I’d like my boyfriend to give me a ring. But that’s terribly selfish. Happy Holidays! Merry Christmas! And all that jazz. :)

  132. I want an iphone! ;)

  133. HOW CUTE ! i love your non traditional spin on the sugar cookie! This Christmas I want to enjoy myself and not feel rushed or pressure to do things that I won’t enjoy. Bring on the family time with my husband and a nice glass of wine.

  134. I’d like to have a new kitchen sink… one that is deeper so when I run water in it, it won’t splash all over the place!

  135. I would love to win this one;)!!! I will be spending the holiday with lots of family and we will have bunches of fun and delicious food! lol

  136. Funny story… this Christmas, every time someone asked me what I wanted, I would tell them “fun baking supplies… the more unnecessary the better!”

  143. I want to surround my kids in the magic of the season and buy them presents they will LOVE.

  144. I love the idea of a cupcake cookie cutter – genius!

    I would like my garden to survive this cold snap, and to be able to spend some nice time cooking and eating with my family and boyfriend.

  145. This Christmas, I would like plane tickets to visit my family who all live out of state.

  159. I want a nice, good job uhmmm and a new car..:D

  160. I would like for christmas with my family to go deeper than food and gifts but to connect on a much deeper level-sharing feelings, emotions and love! I would also love for my amazing husband to be hired doing a job that he loves and fully utilizes his talents!

  161. All i want is for my puppy to make it to Christmas. I love that 12 year old baby and want to cuddle the heck out of him.

  162. The thing I want more than anything else this Christmas is to spend time with my family. Since I moved abroad I hardly ever get to see them and I just miss the lot really bad. Can’t wait till we’ll all sit in my grandma’s cosy living room with mountains of selfmade Christmas cookies and hot chocolate and chat till every last crumble is eaten and every story is told.

  163. For Christmas, I would love a sizable gift certificate from King Arthur Flour’s webstore!

  164. Mainly, I want to spend Christmas Eve at home instead of driving to 45 different family member’s houses.

  173. I want to spend time with my family, and bake bake bake!

  174. My mother and grandmother recently moved in with my husband and me and we already have three children (and please G-d will have more!) so we’re all in close proximity to each other. My mother caught swine flu 2 weeks ago and everyone in my house has been sick on and off since. So I would like for all of my family to get better in time to enjoy the holidays in good health!! :)

  175. I want my family to be healthy this Christmas. That’s all.

    (I love your site!!)

  176. I want to be as cute and crafty as you are!

  177. I would like a full-time job, with benefits. It would be oh-so-fun, though, to spend some time with these nifty baking tools!

    We are our own worst critics, huh? I think your cookies look excellent!

  178. I want my family to all be together in sunny Florida and have an excellent time together!!

  179. This would be soooo fun with my very artistic and very pre-teen daughter!

  180. What I want for Christmas–apart from seeing my family, that is–is a pair of “Yummy Sushi” pajamas from “The Cats PJs”. I’ve wanted a pair since I saw an episode of Buffy which featured them. In high school. Yes, I’m a nerd. If I get them, I’ll totally put on an old tiara and an apron and bake scones in them. :-)

  181. I would love that new fancy Canon! Its a dream, but would be super-nice.
    On a side note, I do the traditional cut out cookies every Christmas, but I will have to try some of these chocolate ones, they look wonderful!!

  182. I just want to stop and truly enjoy beautiful day with my family! On the material side, I’ve had my eye on a particular panini press for a while.

  183. For Christmas I want a laminator!

  184. I am blessed to really have anything I need or want including two adult children who are awesome and a wonderful husband. But, it would be fun to win this cookie-making stocking.

  185. I would love for my sister to find a job. She was layed off last April and has been looking every since.

  186. I would love everyone to be able to enjoy their holiday! I also would love to make great cookies like yours!!!! I love baking!

  187. I’m loving those cookies!!
    What I want for Christmas …is to have all the family together truly enjoying the day and making some awesome looking cookies like these with the girls….and a wii for the family.

  188. I’m after a new digital SLR camera too! It serves me right for playing with some far-too-expensive cameras in a camera shop recently… I convinced myself that my current camera is ‘past it’ and I NEED a new one.

    Very cute cookies – I’m in awe!

  189. I do want to tell you that I think the imperfection of your piping makes the cookies seem homey and not mass produced…so I LOVE IT! Not to mention they are just adorable.

    For Christmas I want the day to be special and great for my kids, I want my family to all get along and have fun. And….it would be super great if a Wii and Wii Fit somehow land under my tree (exercise and fun all in one!!).

  190. I want those cookie cutters!

  191. I want a Bosch wheat grinder for christmas!

  192. LOVE LOVE LOVE the site !! for x-mas I want my daughter to get leave to come home !

  193. I really want a copy of White Christmas on DVD because my VHS tape is starting to wear out – I watch it every year while decorating the tree!

  194. i REALLY want a kitchenaid mixer… but we’ll see if that happens :)

  195. Those cookies are TOO cute! What I want for Christmas is for our business to be off the ground and running so good that we can retire from our daily jobs and have the day to play and make crafts & bake all day!!!

  196. All I want for xmas is a PW cookbook!

  197. I don’t want or need anything this Christmas. How lucky am I? I have everything I could possibly desire in life.

  198. All I want for Christmas this year is to spend time with my family and play with my 18th Month Old Granddaughter!
