Cookie decorating


 I promised the kids we make gingerbread cookies and decorate them.  We ended up making shortbread cookies because Daddy likes them better-and saves some for him with no decorations.  Also, the kids had to wait a week, 'til we were in holiday mode and I was up to helping in such a colossal effort.
 We used honey and icing as our "glue".  The honey had been crystallizing in the jar, so after I loosened it up. I thought it would harden again on the cookie.  I was wrong.
 We had lots of decoration material and cookie shapes too choose from, so it was lots of fun designing them, I think.  I only supervised this year, and made sure they didn't gobble up the decorations instead of using them!

And they did a very nice job of it. They turned out beautifully - and they tasted great!
