To satisfy myself and handily make many cookies at once, I baked some cookie sheet cookies! They were made using a sugar cookie recipe and iced with gray royal icing. A playing card was used as the template for the mini cookie sheets. I also used some silver luster dust to make the cookie sheets look more authentic. After it dried I attached the mini "cookies" with royal icing.
And look at all the "cookies"! There's candy cane cookies, gingerbread men, and sugar cookies! All of the "cookies" are made with either jumbo sprinkles, or pre-made (purchased) icing decorations. For the snowmen "sugar cookies", I decorated the jumbo white sprinkles with edible markers. How easy is that?
Making these did help me feel a lot better about not making the larger, "real" version of all my favorite Christmas cookies:) Try it; they're very easy and fun! I think they look pretty cute too.
All eight of my munchkins, together at last!

(I wish I could post this photo "extra large", but it won't fit in the format, and cuts off two of my munchkins! I hope Santa was listening when I told him I wanted a professional blog makeover for Christmas!)
As cute as the cookies are, the cuteness factor of my munchkins far exceeds them (grandmas have bragging rights ya know:)) We would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas!
I'd like to thank each one of you for your friendship and support! I had no idea that this blog would bring with it so many rewards:) Food bloggers are some of the nicest people on the planet! I look forward to continued association with all of you in 2012!
A real gingerbread boy:)
See you next year!

ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Sue! You always bake the most amazing things. Your munchkins are very lucky indeed to have a grandmother like you! :D
ReplyDeleteQuite possibly the most genius idea ever. Why do I love this so? I posted immediately on Edible Crafts. :). Merry Christmas to you!!
ReplyDeleteSue I am speechless. This is my favorite cookie I have seen all season. Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteAir! I need air! These took my breath away! They are adorable! I'll be picking up those 1/2 priced sprinkles on Monday.
ReplyDeleteI agree, there was so much I want to do. We accidentally met up with my brother and his wife and my sister and her husband at the mall last night and decided that we wanted to take a cue from the Mexican culture and continue celebrating until Jan. 6th so now we are planning a 3 Kings Day party with them. In some ways though, I am glad that it has to come to an end. I just keep doing more things.
ReplyDeleteLove your card, I did an ecard for a post too. Your little Santas are just "edible" and that gingerbread boy is too cute for words. I love your cookie idea. I was so glad to read that they "cookies" were all candies. I thought you had made them all! Have a very Merry Christmas.
