Christmas Countdown Cookie-Making

by Leslie

Julia received some cookie cutters for her Christmas Countdown gift, so we used them yesterday.

Rollin out the dough

Cutting the cookies

The finished product.

She wasn’t patient enough to decorate them, so we dug into them right away.

Then, I made some more cookies for the Christmas Eve party and Christmas day. Since Julia got her fill of cookie-making first, I was able to make the rest without sticky fingers stealing bits of dough.

I made some very simple, but delicious sugar cookie variations.

I made candy cane cookies by splitting the dough and coloring one half with red food coloring. I rolled the dough into 6 inch ropes, twisted red and plain ones together, shaped them into candy canes and baked them at 350 degrees for 8 minutes.

I also made candy bar cookies by covering mini-snickers bars with sugar cookie dough, rolling them in red and green colored sugar and baking at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.

Then, I made the holiday staple: Hershey Kiss Cookies.

I can’t wait for Christmas!

    Hersey Kiss Cookies are difficult, in my opinion.

    While easy to make, you have to eat them in a relatively short amount of time. No shelf life whatsoever. Once they’ve become hardened, it ruins all the fun of eating them. Get them while they are soft, people!

    Those cookies look fantastic! I like baking cookies but never do it - this has put me in the mood and since I’m doing zero on Christmas Eve maybe I’ll wander into the kitchen and make a batch of my sugar+ cookies. The plus is because I always add random spices or a random dash of some yummy sounding extract in them - they usually turn out good but there have been a few times they’ve tasted much like I’d imagine gym socks would taste lol
