ANNUAL COOKIE DECORATING

I know Christmas is around the corner when it comes time to make and decorate cookies with @abrandt1026. The beneficiary is her beautiful daughter who watched Frozen while we worked in the kitchen.

Thanks to @kingarthurbaking I was able to bake the cookies quickly due to their prepared mix. I opted to try my hand at Royal Icing, which my hat is off to bakers, was a learning curve since it was my first time.
Big Guy mixed and mixed and it seemed like we were not getting anywhere until we finally had icing. In the end, after making the first batch of cookies look like snow had fallen on them, we got enough practice to ice the cookies with a more balanced hand.

The best part is not the beauty of the cookies but making memories. I think we may go for icing next year and jazz the cookies up with sprinkles. Thoughts?
