More Christmas Fun!

Christmas is just around the corner and I've been busy making some holiday cookies! Here's what I've been up to lately.

These cookies are Cherry Cordial Roll-Out cookies from SugarBelle. A nice chocolate flavor with a hint of cherry. Yum!

Here's another outside of the box idea - using an upside down ice cream cone cookie cutter, I made these cute little elves. I found the idea on this blog. Nancy's Sugar Cookies made these cute little snowmen. They just say "winter" and "fun" to me! Christmas candy anyone? Just like presents under the tree. Assemble your own Snowman! How cute when The Decorated Cookie put this up on her blog here. We are going to do a snowman craft on Christmas so I'll pull this out to eat then too! All these are individual snowman pieces that I made separately. I liked how it turned out except for the snowman's eyes. Eeek! Not the right size at all. Oh well. Here are all the moving parts! When I saw these personalized trees at Glorious Treats , I knew I had to make them for a few special people in my life! Always looking for some different things to make, I saw these cute little snowmen on Facebook by A+ Kake Sweets. Using a snowflake cookie cutter, you know have 6 little snowmen! I'm on my last set of Christmas cookies this week. Then it's on to decorating my New Year's Eve cookies!
Happy Baking.

Turkeys, Turkeys, Everywhere

I have been doing lots of Thanksgiving cookies! Just haven't shown anyone yet! I've seen so many cute ideas lately that I've had to try so many...I couldn't hold out anymore and NOT share them, so here are my turkey's so far...I've done several different styles!! Which one do you like best?I did a lot with the same colors only using different shapes. Loved Cookie Crazie's idea here. Using half of a daisy cookie cutter.... A 3-D turkey cookie from Bee in our Bonnet website here. Using a circle cookie cutter and then heart cutters for the feathers. Another Cookie Crazie idea.....here...I tried using the black outline and then the colored outline. I think I like the black because they stand out more. Traditional turkeys made the the actual turkey cookie cutter. My freehand drawing idea compliments of The Decorated Cookie, found here. This turned out much better than I thought it would! And using Bake at 35o's idea...2 different cookie cutter with the tutorial here. So now you can see I've had so many ideas come across my path for turkeys that I just want to try them all!! HAPPY BAKING
