Spreading a little...
Christmas Sugar and Cheer!
The girl's and I are doing a little baking this morning. We decided to make some Peanut Butter Blossoms. Can you say...YUM-O? I can!! ;) You can find the recipe here.
We have never really tried our hand at decorating sugar cookies, but I think this takes someone with a steady hand. I am only sharing these cookies with you, because we are all laughing at our *horrible* cookie decorating skills. Let's just say, cookie decorating is *not* our forte! ;)
We started out with so much hope, hope for some beautifully decorated cookies. We got all the supplies out, rolled up our sleeves, only to end up with this...
WAIT FOR IT.....
WAIT FOR IT......
Wait For it....
Ta DA!! ...UGLY!!
Yummy, but ugly! Now even though our cookies didn't turn out pretty, it's the memories shared with my girl's that count. We had fun rolling out the dough, and cutting out the shapes.
The moral of the story...
MAKE MEMORIES!!
We will forever laugh at our cookie decorating skills, BUT...hopefully next time we will improve!
Happy Baking!

Those cookies are beautiful! Baked with love is never ugly!! Merry Christmas to you! xo
They look perfectly fine to me and I am sure the girls think they are works of art! Happy Holidays!
They don't have to be designer cookies! I think they look beautiful, and even more so because of the memories you made. You should have seen the ones we did this week!!!!! Ours still tasted yummy too, so we're not complaining.
Well,those little cookies might not be PERFECT but they sure are cute and the fact that the girls nade them means they baked memories. What more could one ask for? Hey! The first ones look perfect!!! Lovely! xo Diana
It all looks yummy! The girls look so cute in your header pic.
Loved looking at your bedroom!
Yumm.. The sugar cookies are so cute. I can imagine all the giggles coming from your kitchen today. Memories that will last for years to come.
I'm getting ready to bake sugar cookies here at our house, too.
Merry Christmas~
Those look like the most perfect holiday cookie for santa....Avery would love this.
Hi sweet Liz!

I have to agree with Barbara F. "Baked with love is never ugly" Heck...You should see the ones that we made. Yours look like a piece of art!!!! :) Your house looks beautiful and your girls are stunning.
Merry Christmas<3
Girl I am sure you guys had so much fun!! Decorating cookies is so hard!! I think yours look great!! They are supposed to look homemade!! :)
Liz, First time I will disagree, these cookies are the best ever.....made with love, their mommy and their precious hands!!!!!I love the cutters, so pretty and what a great idea the rolls of dough and supplies. I will have to show my girls, you have great ideas! We make those others every year, having hard time finding plain kisses, today they are in multiple flavors.They can leave some for Santa, in that pretty Santa dish! best hugs, and thank you for all your support and love, Emelia.
Those cookies look yummo to me, and the memories you made is PRICELESS!!!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year New from my family to yours,
Tricia
Just because you did them with your precious daughters makes them BEAUTIFUL, in anyone's eyes. XO, Pinky
Hi Liz! The cookies look yummy! I always have high hopes for sugar cookies and how they will look soooo pretty....well they never do but they taste good so I guess that is what matters! Jessica

You bet can say YUMMO! I have had so many cookies this season Liz it is ridiculous! and to boot tomorrow Mike and I have to go for cholesterol checks LOL! Merry Christmas to you and your lovely family.
CHRISTmas Blessings from my mountain top to your home…May it be the best one ever..Hugs and Love Gloria.
Wow they look good to me . I made sugar cookies as well with my kids and i'm not good at decorating them either so we just decided to leave them the way that they are this time instead of decorating. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Your first Chritsmas in Settle.
