It was cold on Sunday so I spent the day the best way I know how. I invited the girls over and we baked Christmas cookies. We started by making the sugar cookie dough after voting that the sour cream that was past the 'best by' date was OK to use. (It did pass the smell test, so no worries. ) After we had the sugar cookie dough in the fridge, we made the most perfect Peanut Butter Blossom cookies, followed by Christmas trees which didn't turn out that well. We completed our cookie journey with a double batch of Chocolate Chip cookies.
We started the day at noon with lunch and stopped at 7pm for dinner. After spending an hour or so decorating the sugar cookies, everyone parted around 8:30pm. We spent a good 7 to 8 hours making cookies! Talk about a long day.

We had a blast while listening to Christmas songs, trying out a dough baller, cursing the cookie press and wondering, 'what is wrong with this dough?'
Chelsi was the Dough Baller Committee Chair, Barb was the sugar cookie dough roller Committe Chair, I was the cleaning Committee Chair, and Amy self-appointed herself, Chair of the 'let me sit on the chair.' Sean, of course, was Chair of QC.
Thanks to my culinary friends for a productive afternoon. Happy Eating!

Cookie Cutters! No two cookies were the same in this batch and many were quite odd.
