My mom hosted this year in her beautiful high-rise apartment. It was festive; decorated for Christmas and overlooking lots and lots of snow in Rockford. Sara, my mom and I baked from morning until night. My mom's friend, Carol, joined us too. Many hands make light work!
Here's a sampling of some of the goodies we all left with.
Yum, don't you want to lick the bowl?
Sara hard at work.
All of those beautifully iced and decorated sugar cookies were done by her.
ALL of them.
We worked through the day, into the night
which by the way is simply gorgeous.
In all we made 11 or 12 varieties of cookies. I wish I'd gotten pictures of all of the finished products, or at least more of the process. I would have liked to, but we were busy! It was a fun day and I'm excited about the cookies we made to share. Of all the varieties, Henry and William love Aunt Sara's sugar cookies the best!

Yay! What a day! It was so much fun. You were the best drizzler ever. "Do the drizzle!" :-)
Thanks for posting this - I love all the captions, so cute. And I'm glad Henry and William like the sugar cookies. Makes it worth the 12 steps it takes to make them! Ha!
Love you! Let's do it again next year. :-)

BEAUTIFUL COOKIES! I am impressed! I am also sad I missed it. :( LOL to the caption on the huge cleaver about the reflection- you crack me up!
The cookies are BEAUTIFUL!! They look so yummy too! Sounds like you all had a fabulous time together! I would love to have the recipe for the Frango Mints, the minty thin mints, the marbled peppermint bark and the frosting for the sugar cookies!! Sara, the sugar cookies were perfect!! What a great way to spend the day! Love, Ruth
YUMMY!!
They all look so pretty and delicious!
I wish I could eat one right now with my coffee. That would be perfect.
BTW, I also love the cleaver pic. It's a handy tool, I say. :-)
AND, the Frango Mints were a bust, I think. I can't get mine cut in a way that looks how I imagined them. I think I probably should have gone ahead and cut them while they were still a little soft.
So, sorry for using 3 packs of almond bark on that little project. :)
I AM HUNGRY!
