Making Christmas Cookies

This year for Christmas I made homemade Christmas cookies - Gingerbread, Aunt Shirl's Cranberry Walnut Cookies and Chocolate Crinkles - and sent them to family and friends. Throughout the process I ended up having a very good little helper! However, my little helper preferred helping at the end - by eating the treats! She did make a few gingerbread men for me but then discovered that it was much more fun to eat the dough and/or finished cookie than cut them out and put them onto the cookie sheet, so I had to retire her from her work.

On Christmas Eve I made a fresh batch of Aunt Shirl's Cranberry Walnut Cookies for Santa's visit and so we'd have a few cookies of our own to enjoy. Although she isn't a huge fan of the cookie, Sofia LOVES the icing, so I had a lot of help. She did lick all the frosting from the waxed paper rather than off the cookies though!

Cookies! These were all packaged and send out the next day.
