Spirit of Christmas, part 2... hope you have a sense of humor

This is not a trick, those are cookies :) These were all my Dad's idea... he sent me a pic and via email with the subject: "wouldn't these make a cool cookie?" Well that got my brain going because I loved the idea. Each cookie has a flavor to match it's color... Cinnamon, Coconut, Peppermint, Lemon, Vanilla and Red Velvet. I wanted to keep going but I ran out of icing to mix into new colors. These are on their way to him as a surprise with the logos, I hope the final product is a good as he envisioned because they were super fun to make. Thanks for the great idea, Dad.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Here is what my kitchen looked like at 7 am this morning... these were all naked when I got home from work at 6 pm last night. All in all there were about 460 cookies decorated for a work Christmas bazaar. I did Sweet Sugarbell's Orange Gingerbread cookie recipe along with my own Eggnog and Candy Cane flavors this year. I found the cutest bags at Target and Hobby Lobby and tried to do cookies to match. It was a lot of work but they were very well received... next year I may have to do more ;)

Christmas Time...

I tried 2 different recipes for Christmas this year... Orange Gingerbread courtesy of Sugarbelle (orange gingerbread recipe), and Vanilla Eggnog, that I made up on the fly. Overall I wanted to keep a really fun and traditional look to these. I gave away way more of these than I was able to keep... I think I was decorating gingerbread in my dreams :) Everyone seemed to love them though, and I can't wait till next year to see what fun flavors we come up with.
