Simple but Beautiful Christmas Cookies

I spent a lot of time decorating sugar cookies this week, and decided to experiment with some different techniques. I made these pretty little cookies that reminded me of boxwood wreaths, and the process was pretty simple.

First, I flooded the surface of small round sugar cookies with white royal icing. Then, while the white layer was still wet, I added a circle of small dots with dark green royal icing.Next I dragged the tip of a clean toothpick around the circle to spread the dots into each other.

So pretty!

No Sleep til Christmas

This week has been crazy busy getting a ton of stuff ready for Christmas. My biggest project was the Christmas cookies boxes that I made for my sister and aunts to give as teacher gifts from their kids.I made 30 of them, and there were 7 different treats inside.My favorite thing in the box was a chocolate chip cookie with a pretzel baked inside, packed in a glassine bag with a pretty little label.I was so happy to pack everything up in the pretty red boxes and send them off. I am frantically finishing up some last minute crafting, shopping, wrapping and baking, and looking forward to a very quiet and relaxing week once all this work is done.
