Cookie day

Every December a friend and I get together to make cookies. This has become a fun Christmas tradition we both look forward to.

Over the years, we have learned a few things. I will share our wisdom with you so you will not make the same mistakes we have.

Here are our top 5:

5. Pick easy recipes or you WILL be baking cookies for 4 days and it is NOT fun!

4. Make sure you read the recipes. We messed up quite a few batches because we were chatting away and not paying attention.

3. Clean as you go or your kitchen WILL look like a tornado hit. This rule makes for a not so nice hubby!

2. DELIVER THE COOKIES ASAP! You WILL eat the beautiful plates you made and you WILL gain 10lbs!

1. And our final tip for all our friends....Don't let your kids stand on chairs to decorate cookies. They will fall. You think we would have learned this one after the second time. Don't worry though, they just got up and contined. Does this face look sad???

Here are the fruits of our labor...YUMMY!
