One of my favorite Christmas cookies is the sugar cookie cutouts. Grandma always has a lot on hand but we all like to help making them. It was a three day process. Cher made up the dough and brought it over to G and g's the next day where we cut them out...
...baked them until they were just right, (you can bet Grandma kept a close eye on them!)...
...and stacked them up for storage. Cher had it right when when she said "our work is 'cut out' for us tomorrow!
Mindy and Natalie came over the next day when we frosted....
...and decorated them.
Natalie was in charge of quality control and checked things out pretty closely to be sure we were putting out an acceptable product. (Some of the rest of us just did the taste test and all seemed well!)
Can't wait for Christmas at Grandma's when we can really get into them!

Oops! I didn't read (edit) before posting my comment. It should read "It looks like you are very creative when decorating them".
That was fun! I wish we would have gotten video of Natalie shaking sprkinkles into the air! And I really can't wait to eat more cookies. I was so hungry for them yesterday!
As Natalie would say---"oh my"!!!!
