It wouldn’t be Christmas without the cookies
Like bacon and eggs, booze and babes, and nap time and happy days, late December is inextricably linked with the making of the “Christmas” butter cookies. And as anyone knows who has made butter cookies, they really live up to their name. I think there is about a teaspoon of butter in each cookie. These cookies are fun to make with Leda because there is machinery (mixer) and decorating involved. Leda is wowed by the mixer and also enjoys licking dough. But she really shines when we get to the decorating part. Any when I say shine, I mean she knows how to decorate a mean cookie. She exercises little restraint in color or flavor combination and chooses to drown the cookies in her decorating world without moderation. Still, I have to admit her cookies do taste the best. And besides, I’m only good with the cookie press anyway.

hold on just one minute… i thought you said that mine were a little bit better, not in the decorating sense but in the taste area??
