Ugly Christmas Sweater.. Cookies?






December 21, 2014: Wadsworth, IL.  Per tradition, I spent my entire weekend before christmas baking and decorating cookies.  I began with whipping up a batch of our secret cut out recipe, and then both buttercream frosting and royal icing.  I used 3 colors; red, green, and gold (kind of yellow, but it was my first time experimenting with gel food dye).  The first step was to outline all of the cookies in buttercream frosting, second I filled them in with icing and allowed them to dry before finally, adding more detailed decorations with buttercream.  What are your favorite Christmas cookies to bake?!
