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.

  60. I want the Pioneers Woman’s new cookbook. Some snow pants would also probably be good too, since I just moved to the Northeast.

  61. to not gain the weight back I’ve been trying so hard to lose. Christmas yummies are irresistable!!!!

  63. I want my girlfriend to really, really love the gift I made her. I worked so hard on it and she has ABSOLUTELY no idea what it is. It’s pretty sentimental and I think she’ll love it, but I’m nervous about it still. I can’t wait to give it to her.

  64. i always want cookbooks! the one i want the most is called I Love Macarons
    http://www.ecookbooks.com/p-23768-i-love-macarons.aspx

  66. I just want to be able to finish my handmade gifts on time. They add such a difference to all the regular gifts we are also giving.

  67. I literally want anything to do with baking. Some new icing tips would be great! This year’s tuition has been ridiculous and I can barely even pay for shampoo…sheesh. I now know why some people only make it to second or third year and quit…its too expensive.

    I always look forward to baking at Christmas time but I might have to skip it this year…well, I’ll still do a little. ;)

  71. I want to soak up everything with my family and our traditions for one last Christmas at home before I get married next summer and begin new ones.

  72. I want to experience my first holiday with the love of my life, including trying his tradition of Chinese food on Christmas Eve, and I want to curl up next to my best four-pawed 13 year old friend by the fireplace…and share a cookie or two with her.

  73. Books. But mostly just time with my family.

  74. OMG, these are the absolute cutest ever!!! You are so creative. I am making cake balls for my office which are inspired you you! I want an engagement ring for Christmas. I know it won’t be happening, but I can at least wish for it! :)

  75. my only wish on my list would be happiness… we are having some family problems (extended) with divorce, aloneness, abandonment etc… so, if i could just provide a safe harbor at this special time and share some happiness without worldly wants… I would be happy.

  84. What I want for Christmas doesn’t come wrapped in pretty paper or topped with a bow (am I channeling Dr. Suess?). What I want for Christmas is time. Time for myself, time with God, time with my husband and kids, time to hang out with my friends whom I hardly ever see.

  89. I want hugs from my babies. Nothing gets better than that. :-)

  90. My wish this Christmas would probably be to get the house we are hoping for and get all moved in… hopefully before Christmas so I can spend the holiday with my family in our new house! Wishful thinking I’m sure! But hey.. I can hope cant I?!?!

  181. All I want for christmas is for my little girl to have the best christmas ever!!

    Love the cookies!!

  182. Love the cookies. I never know what to ask for at Christmas time because I like to be surprised but I will enjoy being with family and friends and that’s a gift in itself.

  183. For Christmas, I want the company I work for to get it’s big break and make it big and be successful! :)

  184. I want to make it home for the holidays to see my family….a Kitchenaid stand mixer, however, would be a pleasant addition to that!

  185. I’d love a romantic getaway with my husband. Doesn’t have to be fancy, just something for the 2 of us.. We don’t know many people to babysit our 2 year old son, so we don’t get out much.. :-(

  186. I want to find a new job that involves traveling to warm places!

  187. I would like for my kids to let me sleep until at least 6am on xmas morning before opening gifts. :-)

  188. For Christmas I would like to win this book!

  189. What I really want is to figure out how to use my bread maker so I can make some homeade xmas gifts….my first two attempts have failed!

  190. Well, I actually already received my Christmas present. Are you ready….it was a Kitchen aide mixer and I couldn’t be more thrilled. But, I think I’m going to need this cookbook so that I can put my mixer to use :)

  191. I want to spend the holiday with my family and friends eating and baking. The “gift” that I REALLY want is a Kitchen Aid mixer……REALLY, REALLY, REALLY want. Hope you have a great holiday and thanks for all the great ideas.

  192. All I want for christmas is to see my kids’ faces light up opening presents, and seeing that santa enjoyed all the cookies we made. (that I hopefully made with lots of tricks from cookie craft christmas!)

  193. A Wide Angle lens for my camera!

  194. This Xmas I like to spend time with my friends, eating ginger cookies and dancing Conga….

    Merry Xmas and Happy 2010

  195. So cute!

    For Christmas, I’m wishing for some new furniture for my new apartment. We’ll see what Santa delivers.

  196. I love your cookies!! They are too cute!!! This year for Christmas I want to be able to enjoy my nearly three year old daughter. She is so excited for Christmas this year!!! It is going to be a blast!! I don’t want to miss a second of the joy that I will see on her face!!

  197. Just to be together as a family. There’s nothing better.

  198. I want to see the wonderful looks of anticipation on my children’s faces Christmas morning. I love watching them open up their gifts : ) What would I like to see under the tree for myself? Well, I have a feeling a nice new KitchenAid mixer will be waiting for me this year : )

  199. I would like maid service for a year…or two.
