So, Nicolle was feeling festive the other day and decided to make some Christmas cut out cookies! One day I came home to a wife covered in flour and a large lump of dough cooling in the fridge. Nicolle asked me to talk to our Landlady and see if she had a rolling pin that we could use. When I talked to her, she said that she had just thrown three of them away in the garbage earlier that day! I could not believe it! Well, Nicolle managed quite well with just patting the dough out with her hands. Because we didn't have any cookies cutters, she used an assortment of different sized cups to make circles for snow balls, ornaments, and snow men. The really fun part came when we went to frost the cookies. We didn't want to spend $2.50 on food coloring that we would only use once, so we decided to see what we could use to tint our otherwise white frosting. We got a lovely shade of purple/red using strawberry and grape jelly, a warm shade of brown using cinnamon, and light shade of yellow from honey, orange juice, and orange peal zest. In the end, the cookies were cute, and tasted delicious!!! Merry Christmas!
