My nephew is 8, which means it is still super cool to make cookies with Auntie. And so we did!
Recipe for dough is called Puffed Heart Lemon Cookies (made cut-out cookies for the first time on V day several years ago, and am stuck on the recipe - yum) followed by a smothering of royal icing. I still haven't mastered this art yet; my cookies are always either too thick, or too thin, but whatever - they look fantastic. ;)
Ghost cookies of Christmas Past:
Put the first batch of finished cookies in the oven so the frosting could dry overnight. Then drank a bottle of wine, and decided to make the rest. Turned the oven on to preheat. Enough said. (fail!)
I meant to take pictures of the finished cookies all decorated by the 8 year old, but we started eating them before I had a chance. Sy only likes the heads. This is how all my gingerbread peeps looked:
Hilarious.
Merry Christmas!
