New Year's Cookies

I wanted to make Christmas cookies this year, but with one thing and another, it never happened. So, today we made New Year's cookies instead. I was vetoed on using the Christmas cookie cutters so we used animal cookie cutters. Once in the oven, though, the cute little animal shapes spread and spread until they turned into cookie blobs.

Luke picked up the first cookie and decorated it as an alien complete with "cranial bumps" and the game was on to decorate all the cookies in fun and creative ways. Dwight had on some oldies music, so there was also much dancing around the kitchen. We really had a great time. The cookies turned out great, everyone had fun, and I got to use my new mixer. It was a good activity for a cold, cold day.
