My kids are older now but we still like to bake and decorate cookies.  Not only do we do the traditional decorated sugar cookies but now and then we’ll throw in a new recipe just for the heck of it!

Here are some photos of what we baked this Holiday Season.
I’m happy to say that my photography skills are getting better and better.

We took packaged sugar cookie dough mix, then rolled it out, cut it with cookies cutters and baked it.  To decorate we used ready made frosting, food coloring and piping bags with different tips.

Some designs got colored sugar and other decorations.

My daughter did the tree with the gold glitter.  I thought that one was particularly pretty.

Here’s a new recipe I thought I would try — salted caramel brownies.  I’ll post a whole entry on this one.

Peanut butter blossoms, some with Hershey Kisses, some with Rollos.

Peanut butter cookies Traditionally I always bake a batch or two of chocolate chip. What traditions do you have for the holidays?  A special meal? A special decorating tradition? Feel free to share. If you have a blog be sure to  leave a link.
