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.

  8. This christmas I want more hours added to every day next year.

  9. These cookies are adorable! I really want the All-Clad double burner grill for Christmas, but I’m getting a big blessing from being able to help out others in need as I can even more!

  24. I’d love to get a job for Christmas! And not just any job, one where I actually like working and am treated nicely not like a little kid because I’m younger than the person speaking to me. And it’d be nice to finally be able to contribute, especially since we’re looking to buy a house. Here’s to wishing!!!

  25. I want my family to get along and everyone be less stressed! And eat yummy sugar cookies :)

  26. YAY! I’m so glad you got the pictures off of the card! These cookies are super cute! I’m dying to try them out too!

  28. I want to be home with my family, at this point. College has made me so homesick. Thankfully, I KNOW I’m getting what I want for Christmas. I hope everyone else gets what they want as well! :)

    Also, those cookies are ADORABLE. And the piping is much better than anything I could manage.

  29. For Christmas, I would LOVE TO WIN THIS!!! (does that count?) haha and if I don’t win, a new stylish handbag with at least 8 pockets would be nice.

  32. Love your cookies! Adorable!

  33. I want a Tupperware cereal container and restaurant gift cards, among other things!

  34. First I would like to say that the cookies look awesome!

    Anyway, I want to pass my Chemistry Class for Christmas!!!!!

  35. I want a new hair iron for Christmas. My 16 year old SON keeps “borrowing” mine….kids these days!!! :)

  36. A food processor. I’ve wanted one for awhile and figured Christmas was a good time to get one!

  37. For Christmas I would love to get the patience to decorate cookies as well as you do! But in the meantime I’d settle for an immersion blender. :-)

  38. I want more running and baking gear! (The two hobbies work together well.)

  39. My favorite pair of slippers finally got a hole in the sole, so a new pair is on the top of my Christmas list. I’ll be happy with just that!

  40. I want to have time to craft and bake without my two little girls pulling on my legs the whole time!

  41. I just want to enjoy watching my 1 year old twins get into the Christmas holiday this year.

  42. I have a huge wish this year. This year for Christmas, please bring my husband home from Iraq.

  43. I want to hack into your randomizing site and make myself the winner!

  44. Well, over here in Holland we don’t celebrate Christmas with gifts – well, not all of us at least. For that we have something called “Sinterklaas” (sounds a lot like Santa Claus), which is celebrated on the evening of December 5 – so it has already passed. This year, all I wanted is to spend the evening with my family – I hadn’t see them all that much lately, and when we did meet, it was more of a staying over at my parents’ place then a spending some quality time together. So this year, the four of us spend the evening together, sharing a meal, playing games, drinking tea and eating something we call ‘kruidnoten’ (a typical Sinterklaas product), and of course chatting up. It was so much fun!
    And in fact, I even got a present, a novel by Nicci French.. I’ll read it this Christmas, when I’ll be spending another few days with my family. I hope we’ll have just as much fun together as we had when spending Sinterklaas together.
    And I hope everybody will have such a wonderful Christmas time!

  45. These cookies are PRECIOUS!! I would like a Kitchen aid mixer for making cakes (and desserts), a cricket machine for scrap booking, and a LARGE suitcase for traveling purposes!

  46. Your cookies are super cute!!! And very appropriate for the holidays I think :)

    I’m enjoying having my husband home and my family complete this year (he was gone last year due to a 365 deployment). As far as “wants,” I dream of a Canon 5D (I’m starting a new business this year. A girl can dream can’t she?

  47. I want a Roth IRA. Then I want some tinkertoys and a set of jacks to forget how old and responsible I’m becoming.

  48. I want to make a point to slow down and focus on my family and make some fun Holiday memories, and I REALLY want a Canon Rebel XTi!

  49. I want some cupcake cookie cutters! Also, some more time to finish making Christmas presents!

  50. I want new dishtowels–a whole stack of them so I can throw out my dingy, stained towels that are in my drawer now.

  51. Oh wow! Those are awesome.
    My only Christmas wish is that my family is happy & healthy. I don’t really want or need anything else (though that cute package would be awesome). Merry Christmas!

  52. I would love the cute cupcake Pandora charm for my bracelet!

  53. Oh, those are just so cute!

    Hope Santa brings you a shiny-new camera this year!

  54. I want a kitchenaid mixer! in green ;)

  55. I want to enjoy my first Swedish-style Christmas (lutefisk anyone?) with my boyfriend’s family and not miss my own family too much. Oh, and some new items for my kitchen would be nice too. :)

  56. I really hope that this ultrasound goes well. This is my Christmas wish. <3

  57. A new zebra belt ! My old one is losing fur from overuse !

  58. I want to not work and have my wife cook lots of treats!

  59. I want to have time to be the latina Martha Stewart I’ve always dreamed of being. Crafts, cooking, organizing, she does it all. You, my friend, make me want to spruce up my photography. You make it all looks so easy!!

    Happy Holidays!

  60. You really are amazing, I have dreams of being able to pipe like that. Since I’m pregnant and feel like I can eat whatever I want this year…for Christmas I want fudge!

  61. Your cookies are so beautiful! I wish mine were that pretty.

  62. I’m hoping Santa brings me a Wii and Wii Fit! After trying your recipes, the Wii Fit is a MUST! :)

  63. Bakerella I love your blog! I want to spend a nice peaceful time with my family and not too much stress! I also want to bake tons of cookies!

  64. I want peace of mind for Christmas this year.

  65. I just want to be with my family and all of us be HEALTHY!!!

  66. This Christmas I really want a Kitchenaid Mixer. My arms get tired from all my hand mixing!!!

    P.S. I LOVE the cupcake shaped cookie cutters!!!

  67. I love, love to bake! Although I don’t always have time. I would love any baking pans, gadgets, utensils, etc. that would help simplify baking some goodies through-out the year! Love the cookies!

  68. I’m asking Santa for a new KitchenAid… the really big kind, and new shoes! Is it bad to ask for a new KitchenAid when mine still mostly works? It’s 15 years old and will not die, but it’s a little small for any major baking! =) Great Christmas giveaway Bakerella! Your cookies are adorable!

  69. I can’t wait for Christmas eve for Alvin and the Chipmunks The Squeakquel and then coming home to read our Bible. Love Christmas morning watching my boys open up their gifts…Hoping that Santa Claus got our letters!

  70. I want to bake! and then eat! Lather, rinse, repeat!
    I also want a ukelele, because I really think I missed my calling as a traveling ukelele player.
    Seriously, I want to have fun with my extended family, give them lots of lovely things and take lots and lots of pictures!

  71. Le creuset. And a cupcake cookie cutter…CUTE! Merry Christmas!

  72. I just want my hubby and I to stay happy and healthy.

  73. My three materialistic wants are as follows:

    1. A set of interchangeable knitting needles!
    2. A pasta maker attachment for my stand mixer!
    3. A tea kettle!

    And my real wants?
    Truthfully, all the people I love are currently healthy and happy, so I ‘d be thrilled if the holiday season continued without any major disasters – or even minor mishaps! I wanna be healthy and happy forever!

  74. I would love 2 jobs for my two daughters. They will both graduate in May. I wouldn’t mind a plane ticket to Paris…no, not Paris TN!

  75. I love your site, Bakerella! This Christmas I would love a Kitchenaid Stand Mixer…I’ve been eyeing it up for years! Maybe this year will be the year. :)

  76. Nothing! I just want people to be happy & not stress out.

  77. I want a little less snow than we got yesterday (2.5ft) so that I will be able to take my rv and go visit family the day after Christmas. lol

  78. I want the little cute items that my mom has collected over the year. She comes up with the neatest things and usually puts them in a “stocking” for me. The stocking is really a gift bag but it is loaded!

  79. I haven’t really askedfor anything this year. I suppose just have quality family time and everyone to like the presents that I got them. I feel like a crappy gifter some years!

  80. Daughters adoption to go thru so we can have her forever home!

  81. For Christmas, I just want to drink hot cocoa with my boyfriend David, and my best friend, Boston Terrier, Henry Bean. But a new camera WOULD be nice! Oh, megapixels…

  82. I want gifts this year! I usually don’t, I mostly want a lot of things to help me with crochet, like a ball winder, gift card for yarn & a book

  83. What I want for Christmas kinda goes hand in hand with the other thing I want for Christmas. I want to be able to spend my first Christmas on my own (living in my own house on my own) with my fiance, curled up on the couch watching a movie.
    I also want a new 37″ flat screen LCD TV.
    and, of course those cute cookie cutters and the book! :-)

  84. I’m hoping my boyfriend proposes…But if not, I will still love him ;o)

    (as for material things – can’t go wrong with a Roomba!)

  85. I want a food processor!!!!!!

  86. This year I really want to stay in my pj’s all day and just enjoy the day with my husband and 6 yr old son. Sometimes the day can be more stressful than fun by tromping from family members homes, so spending it alone in comfort is all I really want!

  87. I want a KitchenAid mixer for Christmas – either the metallic one or pistachio. I love to bake, but all I have is a hand mixer, which makes baking cakes a little more difficult.

  88. i want some of heather baileys trash ties!!

  89. I’m a total Christmas-person. I spend my whole year thinking about the food, the presents, family and more.

  90. Your cookies are adorable! I’m glad you were able to get the pictures off your camera.

    I already got what I wanted for Christmas – a house!! We’ve been saving for years and just moved in last week!

    Merry Christmas!!

  91. Last christmas I was on crutches just discharged from basic military training (Air Force if you didnt know) so it was a really sad time. This year all i want for Christmas is to spend time with friends and family enjoying my health and happiness.

  92. What do I want? Well, I’m getting it…I’m going to Disney World! (I’m 27, and I’ve never been…) I can’t wait to meet Mickey!

  93. I wish to spend a lovely Christmas with my fiance and our families. Apart from that I wouldn’t mind too much if someone would wrap up a new sewing machine and put under the tree for me!

  94. I would love a Dslr camera!! However, I’m very happy with my early present-my iPhone!!

  95. Family! My husband was in Iraq last Christmas, so this year is very special. All I want is everyone together :o)

  96. I’m getting a Kitchenaid Artisan stand mixer finally!!!! Woo hoo!!! I’ve been wanting one forever and my hubby bought it for me online at Amazon the other day. It’s supposed to come in today as a matter of fact! He probably won’t let me use it until after Christmas though. Boo hoo!

  97. I want to move back to OKLAHOMAAAAAAAAAA!

  98. I want healthy kids for Christmas, and a new Canon Rebel ;)

  99. It seems like all of the presents I want I usually buy myself but I would love a Kindle or Nook… something techie to read my books… even though I have a TBR pile of about 75 paperbacks!! :)

  100. I want to spend time with my family and I want some new trivets!

  101. I LOOOOVE Christmas because it’s the one time of year my entire family (all nine of us kids) are all together without a doubt. What I want most for Christmas is to make more memories to cherish for 2010!

  102. I want, no NEED, a new laptop. and I need, no WANT, this set of goodies too :D

  103. I want to spend time with my hubby. HEHe and more lollipop sticks!!!

  104. I want my mommy and daddy to get me a mini kitchen. (Okay, this is actually mommy talking. I hope he wants one, because in true Bakerella fashion, I got him one.)

  105. i want to relax.
    really relax…no worries and just be with my cute family. :)

  106. I want snow on Christmas :)

  107. World peace. Or a heating blanket. Either way. :)

  108. I want the NEW ORLEANS SAINTS to win the SUPERBOWL…. and tickets to the 12/27 game.

  109. For Christmas, I would like to be cancer free and to enjoy my family & friends as long as time allows.

  110. I want to be able to spend time with all my family this Christmas, my side and my husband’s side, no matter how far apart the parties are from each other. Oh and I also want to win this giveaway for Christmas too. Hehe.

  111. I want crafty stuff. Any and all cute fabrics. And some scrapbooking stuff couldn’t hurt.

  112. I want to see my fam. And eat a lot of delish foods!

  113. All I want for Christmas is my husband home from deployment overseas. This is the second one in a row he’s missed.

  114. Peace and safety for those serving our country overseas and a new toothbrush!! Adorable cookies, as always!

  115. Oh…. I want a clear mind for Christmas! The ability to step back and enjoy all that goes on around me. The joy that my kids bring instead of the headaches. :) I need to step back. Oh… and I would also love the goodies! Tee-Hee!

  116. For Christmas, I would like to be able to pay my taxes so I don’t loose my house.

  117. Great cookies!!! For Christmas I’m hoping for an engaement ring!!! And snow for my 1st trip to Virigina

  118. I just want to be with my family for Christmas!

  119. If you want straight, non-lumpy lines, try adding 1/2 tsp piping gel per cup of icing and then use the same technique as when you’re writing on a cake or piping drop strings on a wedding cake, which is to squeeze and let the icing “drop” from the tip as you pull the tip away from the surface, then lightly touch the surface and release the pressure to stop the line. I know it seems contradictory but you will have more control over the line if you pull the tip away from the surface as you pipe the icing out.

    Oh, and for Christmas, I want a subscription to Cake Central’s new magazine, a room just for my caking supplies, and a more time to read blogs like Bakerella!!!

  120. Here is to crossing my fingers I win :)

  121. On the unrealistic side, I’d love a new pc. Mine is very ancient and I was supposed to get one for my birthday back in May but…then the car needed $800 in repairs and it never happened.

    The reason it’s unrealistic is that the more practical thing I’d like is a new job. The company I worked for went out of business the day before Thanksgiving. So it’s put quite a damper on my holiday spirits.

  122. i’m looking forward to heaps of good family time.. and hoping for a kitchen aid mixer!

  123. what do i want for christmas…hmmm…a stocking. filled with goodies. cookie making goodies. yeah. that’ll about do it.

  124. I want to stop worrying about stuff all the time! :) Then I can just enjoy life.

  125. I am wishing for a kitchen aid and maybe a few other things as well.

  126. Wow! These cookies are just so cute!! I will have to try to make these sometime soon.

    For Christmas, I’d like either a mixer, a dishwasher or a freezer…or maybe all three :P :)

  127. What I want for Christmas..hmmmm, beside world peace, I would love to get 100 followers on my new blog-
    http://flowersandflour.blogspot.com/
    Hint, hint everyone, please sign up. I’m no Bakerella but I sure do love to bake.
    I love your website, you are always coming up with such amazing things!!!

  128. I want to be healthy and enjoy every minute of this magical season.

  129. I want my Dad to get well, he’s been sick. On a fun note I want clothes and shoes, a girl can never have to many. Your cookies were cute.

  130. I love it so cute!!

  131. I want to know where my husband will be working and where we will be moving when we leave our apartment on January 2nd.

  132. I want an engagement ring from my boyfriend!! :)

  133. I want to enjoy this christmas as it is my daughters first…And a good book to read…and a cookbook or 2

  135. I want to be healthy and just enjoy every minute.

  136. OMG! What a great prize! I want that prize, I really do. I would also like to spend time with my family with no arguing please!! A new camera would be fantastic and I need perfume. Ok, I’m getting carried away. Happy Holidays B !!

    Or a copy of The Pioneer Woman cookbook.

  141. I want to win this contest !!! please…..
    It is really perfect !!!!

  142. I have decided I should have asked Santa for some Cuddle Duds silky long johns! The wind is unbelievable today. But what I really wanted was to go to my grandma’s for Christmas, she is 90 and I haven’t seen her in almost a year. She lives about 8 hours away.

  143. I wish for a happy and healthy year with family and friends…simple, but simple is sometimes best!

  144. I would like some new baking supplies. I have started a blog about baking and I need some supplies to help me out with my ideas. This is a great set. I want to try some cookies too!

  145. I really want snow for Christmas (lame) but I’m taking my engagement pictures on the 23rd (my birthday) and I REALLY want them to be snowy! I’m praying!

  146. What adorable cookies! All I want for Christmas is a nice, warm holiday with my friends and family, with no drama! I certainly wouldn’t mind waking up to find a beach cruiser under the tree, but mostly, I just want to spend time with my family, whom I don’t get to see very often.

  156. An engagement ring. And maybe a cute proposal like you did before through your blog. :)

  158. i want an iphone so i can keep up with your blog! love the cookies!!!

  160. I want health and happiness for me, my family and friends. And an espresso machine and new running shoes would be nice.

  173. LOVE your cookies…so so cute! What do I want…a safe trip home to visit my family, and a new camera would be nice too :) I thought I wanted a Rebel, but now I’m leaning towards a Nikon. But it doesn’t really matter since I’m not getting either LOL.

  174. I would love to do nothing…absolutely nothing…for a couple days.

  175. I would love for my husband to get a job. A new camera would be nice too!

  176. An afternoon to myself while my husband watches our son. And a massage.

  177. My wish is for 24 whole hours where no one needs me for anything and I can stay in bed and sleep all day!

  178. I want a white christmas!

  179. I would like steady work throughout the winter season for my husband and a new shower assembly.

  180. Wow Those are impressive cookies!! All I want for Christmas is money so that I can pay bills and live where I am living!!!

  181. The cupcake cookies are adorable!

    I was just telling my husband last night that I’d like to have more heavy gauge cookie pans and stacking cooling racks that won’t rust in the dishwasher! We both have a gluten intolerance so when I make glutenous things I have to run the racks through the dishwasher to ensure all traces are gone!

  182. I just want the Lord to answer my prayers and heal my friends baby! He is fighting for his life in NICU………Please Lord God heal baby Isaiah!

  183. I want to spend as much time with my husband as possible. We are both very busy students and are excited for the break!

  184. I want to cherish the time with my family this Christmas. And a GPS would be helpful, but not expected.

    So great to meet you and stand in line at the PW signing Monday night! My friend Pam and I couldn’t believe our luck :) Love your blog and all the inspiration you give!

  185. I love the Christmas cookies! I would love lots of cute shoes for me, and toys for the babies, and gift cards for the hubby.

  186. I want 2 weeks off and free ingredients so I can bake and decorate all the stuff I’ve been wanting to but never have the time!

  187. What do I wish for Christmas…..to get over my fear of camping outside in a tent. This way I can enjoy the time with my family when the boys and my husband go camping. I’d love to receive that camera too!! I would also love for my grandmother to feel better and my mother to live one day without arthritic pain. Happy Holidays!

  188. I want to find a job for Christmas this year!

  189. I want my parents to come spend Christmas at our house. I want to move back to Atlanta. On practical terms, I want a book by one of my favorite authors – any of them, because it seems they ALL came out with new books this year.

  190. I’m really hoping that the kids can talk Hubby into buying out the Taste of Home catalog. I want just about everything in it! But beyond that, I really want to enjoy loving & spending time w/ my husband & two children.

  191. I want Santa to bring me awesome baking skills like Bakerella!

  192. I got to come home and see my family for the holidays, which is what I really wanted. Plus I get to have my first Christmas together with my boyfriend and our new kitten. Yay holidays :)

    Adorable cookies by the way. I love the cupcake cutters!

  193. Cookie Craft Christmas book and baking goodies for my sister. I know she likes your website and shes likes to make cookies. Maybe if I win it for her she can make me some cookies……whooo hooo!!! :D

    Thanks Bakerella!!!!

  195. What I want for Christmas?? Someone to hire my husband now that he’s graduated from college!

  196. Oh my, those are SO cute!! For Christmas I would love for everyone to get along. You know there is always that one thing that someone will say & the argument starts. UGH!
    I would also love to have a Wii Fit, I really need to start working out!!

  197. I would love some new picture frames for our bedroom.

  198. I want to spend lots of time visiting with my family and cooking delicious food and desserts with my mom!
