Cookies are a univeral like. I have never met a soul that would turn one down.

Martha Stewart made them "good things." They are tasty, the sweeter the better....and you can't frown when sprinkles are around!

We started a family tradition of baking cookies and decorating them on Christmas Eve (for Santa, of course....nevermind that we ate most of them!). Having just attended a cookie swap (with very tasty and highly praised homemade peppermint chocolate chip cookies), I decided to make sugar cookies (and icing) from scratch, rolling it out and cutting it into shapes. My stock of

cookie cutters are weird...a star, a heart and umbrella (the strange one!). The stars ended up like bloated starfish, the hearts more like the Gaffney Peach, and the umbrellas looked a bit like mushrooms. No matter! They still tasted yummy and were perfect for decorating. Note, JR LOVED the red sprinkles, emptying almost a jar on one cookie.
Although not holiday-themed, the umbrellas made sense after all...it rained on Christmas!
