Sugar, Sugar!

There’s no place like home for the holidays….

but decorating sugar cookies with your roomies at school is a close second!!

Me and Emma’s sweatshirts say “Be naughty, save Santa a trip.” She just had to pose with the “Ho!” cookie for this picture. Coincidence? I think not…

So…prior to all this cookie decorating fun, I went to wal-mart to get cookie decorating supplies. I have plenty of decorating tools at home, but NONE here at school! So….I went a little bit overboard and bought tons of new Wilton goodies!

New tips, couplers, and piping bags along with the other cookie decorating essentials. I love using royal icing for decorating sugar cookies, but I’m going to wait to do that until I’m at home where I have all my supplies (and a dishwasher).

We used store bought cookie dough and icing. *Gasp!* I know….but to my defense, it is finals time and we are short on both time and motivation!

That’s right Emma! You show that piping bag what you’re made of!

These are my cookies! My favorite is probably the Christmas tree. I also like the Santa Claus though! Can you tell it’s a Santa? He’s kind of pitiful..

Emma’s cookies before they were all done! My favorite is the one with all the star-tipped piped circles.

These are Anna’s cookies. I love her holly cookie!

And for the grand finale…

We ended up with about 3 burnt cookies and we turned it into a cookie cake for my friend Joe. It might taste…..okay. Most likely, it will taste burnt. That’s right people…accept food from me at your own risk. I’m not afraid to play a practical joke
