Alice In Wonderland Cookies

My little son is in the school play, Alice in Wonderland Jr. so today I made some fun Alice cookies for his castmates.  After they dry, I will wrap them in cellophane bags and put a topper on them.  I think they turned out fairly cute, don't you?  The Queen one is not my design.  I copied it from a cookie I saw online... only theirs had the orange hair from the movie.  Since our queen has dark hair, mine had to have dark hair.

Christmas Cookie Party 2010

I know I just showed you cookies yesterday, but we had our annual get together for cookie decorating, so

I thought I would share some of our fun cookies we made.  I promise... no more cookie talk after this

post!!!

These are my friend, Janet's cookies!  Aren't they cute?  I was so busy making my own that I forgot to take pictures of hers, so she sent me some pictures.  I love her lighter colored cookies, but I love the taste of brown sugar in mine, so I used the darker recipe.

These are the ones I made today.  ZZZZ!!! I'm so tired and my back hurts.  I worked on them alllll day!

Off to bed!

After school, my boys made some of their own.  I taught them some of the techniques and they

did quite well.  My 10 year old made the ones on the left and the black one on the bottom.  My almost 8 year old made the ones on the right.  He really liked playing with the bags of icing.

Set up... pre-partying

That was a lot of hard work, but they will make nice presents. 

Happy Holidays to you all!

Holiday Cookies

I had so much fun making cookies and decorating them today.  I think these cookies turned out the best so far, so I had to share them on two of my blogs since I have different followers on both blogs!  Hope you enjoy them.  If you want the recipe for the cookies or the icing, hop over to my food blog!

Spring or Easter Decorated Cookies

My kids had the day off today, so we spent the day baking and decorating cookies.  It is always fun at the beginning but then by the end, I'm usually sick of it.  The boys didn't last quite as long as I did.  That's the way it usually goes.  They are all gung-ho and then they make two cookies and they are then done.  The sure love eating the dough though!

So, here are the cookies we made.  We traced the cookie cutter and the boys designed their cookies before they decorated them.  This gave them an idea of what to make before they started trying to make things with the icing.  Icing isn't quite as forgiving as colored pencils.  You can see below both the drawings and the cookies.  So cute!

These are my 9-year-old's eggs.  He did a pretty good job!  Of course, how Meta Knight and Warrior Skeletons have anything to do with Spring or Easter, I don't know!

These are my 7-year-old's eggs.  He was bored more quickly.  Cute though!

If you would like the recipe for the icing, it is on my Food Art Party blog ... HERE.

Have fun!
