I did something insane this year. I talked my mom into decorating our 8-foot Christmas tree/Chanukah bush with cookies instead of real ornaments. This entailed making an insane amount of cookie ornaments. It took a LONG time. But it was worth it...the tree looks amazing!
I'll put up individual posts about the different cookies I made, but here's an overview:
I made gingerbread snow flakes (with the coolest cookie cutters ever). Some with royal icing, some without. And hung them with cream ribbon. I also made sugar cookies in ornament shapes with 'stained glass windows' (with the second coolest cookie cutters ever). I used green and red candy to make nice christmasy windows. I hung them on deep brown ribbon to contrast with light cookie (and with the dark gingerbread/cream ribbon ornaments).
I'll post more about the cookies and photos of the tree soon, but I'm tired tonight, so you'll just have to wait until tomorrow!
