Ever since I was little, my Mom would bake sugar cookies for Christmas and make homemade icing and then my Dad, brother, and I would ice the cookies. As we got older, my brother either didn't help decorate them or wasn't home to help but my Dad & I have always done it. It's one of the few Christmas traditions that we have & I look forward to it every year. This will be the third Christmas that Todd & I have been together and the third time that he has come along with me to my parent's house to ice the cookies. On Saturday afternoon, we went over and spent a few hours hanging out with my parents and decorating cookies.
A few of the masterpieces....note Todd's red & white Care Bear cookie
A few more....again, note Todd's Christmas pirate upside down on the left
Icing one more cookie...and no, we weren't sitting like this the entire time
Todd & I
One last tradition with icing the cookies is the slop cookie. The slop cookie is the cookie that's made with all the leftover bits & pieces of dough. I decorate this cookie last and use all the leftover icing and pour it on. I have no idea when I started doing this but I can guarantee that this is the tastiest cookie because of all the icing.
