Here’s what I’ll be doing for the next three to five days. It’s one of my favorite things to do for the holidays — and honestly, my one culinary talent!

Making the cookies is a three-day process, and I like to give or serve them one day after being frosted, so this requires a cookie schedule – a chart of who gets cookies when, and the ideal time for frosting.

I’ve got one batch baked, and another mixed. Once those are cut and baked, the real fun begins! Decorating is a slow process. (Some would say tedious.) By the time I’m done, my fingers will cramp from wielding the pastry bag, but it’s worth it when friends and family enjoy the finished product! If I do say so myself, they taste as good as they look! Hope you get to enjoy all your favorite treats this season!
