christmas cookies 2009...

Last year we started baking goods for our family and friends as part of their Christmas presents. Partly out of lack of monetary funds, partly out of our closer proximity to their house (we didn't have to lug cookies across the state for weeks), and partly because I LOVE baking!



Jason didn't have much experience with a rolling pin so I made him give it a go! This was the only batch he rolled out, he was much happier to be the one to take them off the pan once they cooked.



Peppermint bark! This was SO easy, so delicious and really inexpensive to make...a bonus all around.



I love spritz cookies!



And my all time favorite...Russian teacakes.

There are more pictures from us decorating cut out cookies but I had to take them with my phone since I left my camera at my parents house on Christmas Eve and that is when we decorated cookies...I'll try to figure out how to get them up here but they are on facebook if you're on there...
