I will admit that one year a friend and I decided to make sugar cookies for Christmas and decorate them etc. We made one pan and decided that took way to freaking long to do and ended up using the remaining dough to make one large sort of naughty cookie.battynursehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02240029154165501340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259745.post-50983603766747065982009-09-17T22:30:57.552-04:002009-09-17T22:30:57.552-04:00Love the pomegranate mold!

Adorable.
...LOVING the pomegranate cookie press. Adorable. <br /><br />And yeah, even though I'm not a Christian anymore, I will not give up Christmas (I just reframe it as "time of year to celebrate friends and family and good food"). And yes, christmas cookies are a huge part of that. And I have the best BEST cookie recipe ever, though in fairness I have not tasted the recipe of your favorite Christian baker, so I might be wrong. But I know that after two and a half decades of searching for a new recipe, we found one and it has been the family favorite since then. As it should be since it's basically several sticks of butter with just enough flour to hold it together... but I digress. The point is that these cookies are good enough to convince me to keep celebrating the birth of a man that I don't necessarily believe in.<br /><br />Anyhow, yes, they take forever, but if you go with spreadable/dippable icing instead of piped frosting, it goes much faster. (We always use the confectioners sugar/milk frosting, with food coloring, and then jimmies or colored sugar sprinkles or dragees to add some sparkle) And if you really let your creative self go, you can have some real fun. (Last year's cookies: http://www.flickr.com/photos/k8izgr8/3156245575/) <br /><br />Anyhow, I am so glad that you and the twins were able to have such an awesome cookie adventure. What fun!katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08056463808792013011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259745.post-65768498045948401142009-09-17T12:13:53.938-04:002009-09-17T12:13:53.938-04:00Mmmm...cookies...

Each weekend between Thanksgiving (Canadian t-giving is in Oct) and the first of December we would tackle one thing. Starting with the apples and pears from her trees, through dainties (squares and logs and balls), past almond roca, cabbage rolls (I know it's not sweet, but it's part of Cmas for us), perogies, and pfefferneusse. <br /><br />But even with all that, we NEVER do the sugar cookies... too much work! :)Mrs. Gamgeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18351339333625358960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259745.post-79369846637644361272009-09-16T21:14:23.160-04:002009-09-16T21:14:23.160-04:00You can still buy the pomegranate cookie mold if a...You can still buy the pomegranate cookie mold if anyone wants it:<br /><br />http://www.houseonthehill.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=334Lollipop Goldsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01020874415819057995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259745.post-55225260759914548832009-09-16T21:10:20.082-04:002009-09-16T21:10:20.082-04:00I am in love with those pomegranate cookies.
