Christmas and some cookies

Okay… finally, the post from last weekend. My camera never did wake up by the way. But I did manage to get all the photos off using a friend’s card reader. Yay! Unfortunately, no built in card readers on my printer or computer… Boo!

And, I would have posted this last night, but I spent the evening at Pioneer Woman’s book signing in Atlanta. Fun! Fun! More on that soon. Thankfully, I did have a working camera with me for that. A brand new Canon Digital Rebel XSi that I borrowed. It’s nice having generous friends. But, I kinda wish I hadn’t started using it. I might not be able to give it back. Bigger screen, More megapixels. And I’ve convinced myself the photo quality is far superior. It is. I know it is. Maybe my camera will be unfixable. Is that a word?

Anyway, here’s the goods or goodies from last weekend.

It’s coming up on Christmas, so I wanted to make some decorated sugar cookies. But I didn’t really want to make traditional Christmas shapes. So instead, I used a cute little cupcake cutter I recently bought. I also went with a less than traditional color scheme and chocolate sugar cookies to help make the colors pop.

Cookies

I love sugar cookies. Too bad I love them more than they love me. I’m still trying to perfect my piping. I will not give up. I will have non-lumpy lines one day.

Cookies

These were two of the better ones.

Cookies

These … not so much. But squint and they’ll look better.

Snowflake Sprinkles

See …… Okay, I’m kidding. I kid. These are the good ones. Well, the better ones anyway.

Mess

It helps to plan ahead when you work with royal icing. Draw out the colors you want for borders and the colors you want to fill with in advance.

Cookies

The cookie recipe is from the book, Cookie Craft. Get a copy if you have any desire to learn how to make these kind of decorated cookies. It’s jam-packed with tips and tricks.

Or maybe you’ll win this.

Cookie Stuff

Yes, the original Cookie Craft came out with a mini Cookie Craft Christmas book.

Christmas Craft

Also with recipes, ideas, and tips. It’s very cute. And small, which you know I like.

Cupcake Cookie Cutters

You’ll also get this cute 2-piece cupcake cookie cutter set. Love it!

Cupcake Stencils

And some cupcake stencils. You can use these on cookies, too.

Cake Tester

A cupcake-shaped cake tester. This totally unnecessary utensil was too cute to pass up.

Mini Cupcake Spatulas

And so were these mini spatulas. I bought all the goodies (except for the cookie book I picked up at the bookstore) from Crate & Barrel if you want to look them up. I like finding cute things. Hope you like them, too.

Stuffed

And it all comes stuffed in a sparkly stocking.

  1. a vacation with my husband – it’s long overdue!

  2. Those are ADORABLE!

    What I want most this Christmas is a trip somewhere warm with my husband & kids. Somewhere that doesn’t get a foot of snow overnight!

  3. What I’d like for Christmas…a job for my husband! On the completely fun side of things…I’d love a completely organized craft room!

  4. To be able to go back home to visit my mom. Thank you for the giveaway! Everything looks so cute!

  5. I don’t really know what I want for christmas. I guess most of all I want things to go back to how they were, or to fast forward a couple months(or years)… Really though I’d probably be ok with some cooking stuff.

  6. I am so sorry your camera died :-[ but even though you have to spend, but look at the bright side, you will get a brand new camera, that is so exciting. I was close to losing my laptop :-O
    I accidentaly poured a half filled glass of coffee on it. It is a miracle that it’s working.
    Lovely cupcakes.
    Bythe way I was at the B & N today checking that book, and I was checking those cookie cutters at Crate and Barrel (?) two days ago, so I hope I will win this randomely.

  7. i wanna be prego .. again :)

  8. I’ll be honest….I really want a Wii!!

  9. definitely to get good grades this semester and to spend it with family whom i havent seen in a year due to school! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

  10. I want a Kitchen Aid!!! That’s it. I’ll be happy with that alone. Hehe…

  11. This Christmas I would like a much needed vacation, preferably somewhere nice and warm considering it is currently 1° Fahrenheit outside, and the high for tomorrow is only expected to be 16°. Yes, someplace warm would be amazing.

  12. Oh my goodness! The cuteness never ends around here. Okay, I want some new boots for Christmas.

  13. I want another year of Stay at Home Momming!

  14. I want yarn. And Addi interchangeable circulars. And lots of time and patterns for knitting. And to eat alot of food, and visit some friends. And that country chicks cookbook.

  15. I want Charlie, the little boy I sponsor, to find his family! He’s an orphan with Down Syndrome and he lives in Eastern Europe

  16. I would love more people to look at my blog :). I love yours!

  17. For Christmas, I really just want to spend time with my family. My little one is really getting to experience Christmas for the first time and it has been so fun seeing Christmas through her eyes.

  18. A trip back home to Malaysia. For the whole family actually. That’s so cool that they made a second book. I was wondering if they were gonna do it. Funny thing is, I just made these chocolate cookies today too. Thanks for this giveaway!

  19. those are some cute cupcookies! Love them :)

    my wish is to finish writing my thesis thats due in January without missing all the christmas parties…. wish wish wish….

  20. All I want for Christmas is a happy day for my friends, family and loved ones.

    Those cupcake cookie cutters are ADORABLE!!!!!

  21. I want my fiance home for Christmas. We are working with immigration and I am praying that things get worked out so he can be here for Christmas.

    Also, THANK YOU for introducing me to the Pioneer Woman’s chocolate sheet cake. It was a HUGE hit at Thanksgiving! And it’s already been requested… okay, demanded for it to make an appearance for Christmas.

    Merry Christmas!

  22. I want a big sturdy new ironing board!!! I know that’s nerdy, but I sew and my old cheapo college ironing board is just not cutting it!

  23. I want the CANON DIGITAL SLR XSi camera! When you mentioned it, I got all tingley inside! It has been on my wishlist on Amazon for thirteen decades at least! Someday…

    Don’t you just LOVE Crate and Barrel. That is one store I can easily get into a lot of trouble. And love every second of it!

  24. I’m really hoping for a new camera. It’s been 5 years, it’s time for an upgrade, right?! I’ve had my eye on the Canon Digital Rebel Xsi for about 6 months now. Seems we have something in common!

    But I’d love to win this too! ;)

  25. So cute! I want to be able to travel to be with my family. Christmas is just 3 weeks before my due date, so odds are 50/50 either way, and it would be the first Christmas Day I haven’t spent with them in my lifetime!

  26. I want the fact that my parents will be off in Boston to not overshadow our celebrations. I want to be happy with my own little family even though we won’t be reveling in the usual chaos of lots of extended family.

    Oh and if Santa could really grant my Christmas wish, I would get a brand new Nikon d700 under the tree!

  27. I would love to have good travel weather…so that I can be with my family and not be stuck at an airport during the holidays.

  28. For Christmas, I want a vacation with my family. =)

  29. wow- well now I want to win this contest for Christmas! Ha :)

    I would really like some new clothes – boring, but true!

    thanks for the fun blog!

  30. yay
    after reading all your posts i’m totally loving your blog
    and watching all the give-aways I can finally participate in one!!
    so, this x-mas i was getting a bit material, I wanted a new laptop since this one doesn’t work quite well.
    I’m in high school and I have to take this BLOCK everyday :S
    But no, this x-mas I just want LOVE, HOPE and SMILES, like you said, spend time with my family and have a priceless time like always. And if it isn’t too much to ask I would want my oven fixed :(
    no oven = no cupcakes :'(

    have a great day:)

  31. I want everyone to be happy!!!

  32. My two front teeth to not have braces.

  33. I think I want some of those cookies!! Or a TV. :)

  34. I want a new camera! I want one really bad…..

  35. This stay at home mom wants a job as a lunch lady at school so I would have the same schedule as my daughter.

  36. I have the only thing I want this Christmas, my husband, home safe from Iraq =)

  37. I want my son’s broken wrist to miraculously heal after 4 weeks instead of 8-12.

  38. Those are the cutest cookies AND gifts ever! I want so much for Christmas it’s overwhelming, but not for myself. I just want everyone to be/stay healthy and content!

  39. I want a label maker for Christmas…yes, that’s right. A. Label. Maker. : )

  40. Peace and less stress! :)

  41. I would like a family fun-filled day to relax, eat, and just enjoy being with each other. Also, I would like to capture the joy in my 18 month old son’s face as he begins to comprehend this special time of year and spending time with family is a major part of it…he’s a big ham and will have fun entertaining all 30+ of us!
    BTW, Cute cupcake cookies! :-)

  42. I could really use a new hairbrush. Really.

  43. For some reason, the older I get, the fewer but more expensive my wish list gets. This year….KitchenAid mixer, digital camera (mine is about to die), a plane ticket to/from Germany so I can visit my sister next year. :)

  44. Oh my! How to keep it brief? I want clothes! A shopping spree at IKEA! A Bialetti hot chocolate maker! Books; so many, many books! A beautiful chandelier for my bedroom! A trip to Europe! Fruit and nut trees!

    All those things are so very nice, but I want most of all is to see the look of wonder when my girls wake up Christmas morning. Even though they are teens now, it’s nice that the magic can still happen.

    Happy Holidays Bakerella! :)

  45. I want to finish the last of my online courses!

  46. This is going to sound cliche but… I don’t really want anything for Christmas. I’m no longer a follower of the religion so I really don’t want to celebrate any holiday.

    My parents insist that I give them a list of things for them to buy me. I reluctantly submitted a list of video games and books.

  47. What I want most for Christmas is for finals to be over, goodness, my brain feels like it’s exploding. But really, I want my dad not to stress so much about getting me expensive gifts, and know that anything he gets me will be wonderful.

  48. I would like my hubby to find a job! :)

  49. this christmas i’m wishing for good health for my family and friends

  50. I want to spend some time with my familiy- all the extended members, cousins in laws and kids! PLUS they all make yummy treats I want to try!!

  51. such cute cookies. way better than anything I have ever attempted! If I could have anything for Christmas, it would be a piano.

  52. I want lots of time with my husband and two little girls!

  53. All I want is just one more Christmas with my husband, who passed unexpectedly this July. Anything to have one more holiday would make me happy.

  54. You’ve sold me on that Canon Rebel XSi and they have one at Costco I’ve been eyeing! But I just spent waaaaaay too much $$ for some really nice pots and pans. I love you Bakerella!

  55. I want a pair of UGGs..please!!! Christmas or my birthday…they are only 10 days apart!!!

  56. What do I want for Christmas? I keep getting asked that question for those who want the “material” answer, and I just can’t find that answer – I have too much “stuff” that I don’t want and can’t narrow down what (if any) material things I want. Ok, all of your camera talk… a few new lenses for my Canon Rebel would be nice (although unrealistic).
    To be truthful, what I want is some rest and fun times with family. This is my daughter’s second Christmas… and the closer two gets, the more adventures we have. I’m hoping for a day full of all of the GOOD adventures!

  57. I want my husband home from Iraq, and to find a good, happy job in our new duty station. I also would love an espresso maker, a good dutch oven, and the ability to eat as many Hershey Kisses and drink as much eggnog as possible without gaining an ounce. But more than anything, having my husband home would be my number one wish.

  58. I want a Roomba! Way bad!

  59. I want some real time to spend with my husband. He’s a professional musician and teaches at two colleges. He’s gone day and night…that’s what I want for Christmas…time with Dave.

    Also, I made some cake pops for the first time tonight. I need some practice still but I think Dave’s students will really like them. Thanks!

  60. I desperately want a laptop. I can’t comprehend how I’ve gone so many years without one! The ability to be able to use the internet AND be in bed would be my dream come true. Hehe. I spend way too much time with a sore back from all the hours I spend on my computer chair. Plus then I can blog all my adventures from Japan in Febuary :D

  61. I want a new digital camera for Christmas. Mine does not do good indoor photos. I want something with a better flash.

  62. For Christmas, I would love to have some time with family and friends! :) I don’t need any presents but would love to have an injury be fixed. Bakerella…I love your site…thanks for sharing with us! :)

    Sarah

  63. I just really need a morning to sleep in.
    and some cupcake paraphenalia.

  64. I want to win this, lol. No, I would love an HDTV or a macro lens for my camera. But I’ll be happy with whatever Santa brings. :-)

  65. I really want a tropical vaction for Christmas, and my 5 month old son to start sleeping through the night ;)

  66. Well, I already got an engagement ring for Thanksgiving, so I don’t really need anything for Christmas! :)

  67. I just want to watch my 2 year old son’s face when he see’s his little tyke’s bounce house!! Priceless!

  68. I want gift cards for Henry’s…I seriously need a new lens for my Canon Rebel XSI (Yes….I can undertand why you love it…I loooove my camera!)

    Such cuute cupcake-y fun!
    And the cookies look great!

  69. For Christmas? I’d love a relaxing day spent with my family – no
    phones, no computers and no interruptions!

    Thank you for such a sweet give away!

  70. I want a new camera for Christmas. Mine also died, so I have all the sympathy in the world, Bakerella. My not-so-amazing pictures are now currently being taken on my camera phone! :) And, I want to spend lots of time with my family… no work, just all play! I LOVE this stocking set. This would also be the most amazing Christmas present ever :)

  71. A camera like yours! We’re expecting a baby next summer so I’m going to need a good camera : )

  72. I dream of an iPhone or a new lens for my budding photography (bad) habit… but would be happy with just time with my family and friends… no, really.

  73. I would LOVE an iPhone 3G. My mom, sister and dad have them and i feel it is only fair :)

    BTW- Loved meeting you last night at the Pioneer Woman’s book signing.

  74. OMG I love the cupcake cookies. I made Christmas cookies last night and tried the piping for the first time. I REALLY need to practice:) What I want for Christmas is more decorating stuff. I really wish we had a cake decorating store like yours close by. I hate to pay so much in shipping everytime I buy sprinkles……and I want to buy sprinkles ALL the time.

  75. For me I just want a quiet Christmas dinner with some of my good friends and exchange some presents, just like what we did last year. Alot of my friends are not free for this year Christmas celebration because of works and some are in National Service now.. :(

  76. Small thing I’d like for Christmas: a white noise machine to help me sleep at night.

    Big thing I’d like for Christmas: the man of my dreams!

  77. I want the intangible: a job, good health, peace of mind.

  78. I want to be 1/10th as creative as you are in baking endeavours for Christmas. =)

  79. For Christmas I would love if my husband could come home from his deployment early. Even if it’s just a month early…

  80. What I want for Christmas is to be able to spend time with my mom, who is also my closest friend, but who lives 500 miles away from me. I also want to pass my genetics and molecular biology finals. And it’d be nice if Santa threw in a new 50mm lens for my Canon 30d, my old one broke somehow. :(

  81. I’d like a La Cornue oven.

    If you’re gonna dream, dream big, right?

  82. This Christmas I want time to enjoy my family, organization to get things done, humility to remember what is most important.

  83. This Christmas, I just want a peaceful time with my family . . . all love and no drama.

    Gorgeous cookies – I’m impressed!

  84. I want a sewing machine!

  85. All I want is an immersion blender.

  86. I want a brand new camera!! But I’ll be happy with days off from work! :0)

  87. Fantastic ideas! I’m making cookies for a Cookie Walk this weekend and this is now the plan!

    I have wished for Martha Stewart Cupcakes and Cookies, a sewing box and an immersion blender, but most of all I can’t wait to be home with my family and hopefully get to enjoy some snow while there!

  88. I want a new camera so I can take pictures of our new addition to the family, a baby boy, in February.

  89. A spa day would be nice. Or just a day without the kidlet that doesn’t end in guilt

  90. On the materialistic side: a Creme Brulee torch… on the sentimental side… Nothing. I am so blessed and happy with my life that I don’t need or even want anything that I don’t already have for Christmas! Life is good!

  91. I would love a job! I graduated from college in May and have had trouble finding a job!

  92. I want to have a stress free, work free, argument free day with my family. I want us to make holiday memories that are like those you see on tv. The good ones that is. SANTA is real and I BELIEVE!!!

  93. I want to see all of my friends from college and there would be a huge cooler of Blue Moon waiting for us.

  94. I want a Canon xsi for Christmas as a matter of fact. Funny you mention it. I can’t wait for it!!! and it would be nice to win all those goodies.

    Love your site Bakerella!!!

  95. I want to be pregnant again…only naturally this time. It took 4 years and 3 IVFs before getting our wonderful Daughter. I’d just like the opportunity to give her a sibling.

  96. I want to not have to work any more and be able to stay home with my son again.

  97. I would love a cute cookie decorating book and some adorable mini tools! :)

  98. to be with my family making memories and for my husband to get a new job!!!

  99. I want a Nikon D90. BAD!

  100. I am hoping that Santa has a new camera for me under the tree.

  101. It’s amazing… once I became a mother I can no longer think of things I want. I just want my daughter to have a fabulous Christmas.

    But really I want a Kitchenaid stand mixer. I’ve wanted one for years.

  102. I would love to get my kitchen renovated, but since that won’t happen any time soon, I’ll settle for an orange Ipod Nano!

  103. I’ve been wishing for a camera of my own, since I always borrow my dad’s, but I’m too afraid to actually ask my parents. They’re already helping me pay for college, so I’m fine with that anyway! as long as I hvae this cookbook, I’ll be fine… =]

  104. I would like a few good, comfy pair of pajamas

  105. I would love to get a brand new digital camera, but I’ll settle for new baking stuff too :)

  106. I want a white christmas! Living in Arizona might not be the best place for that :(

    Btw, I absolutely love your blog and these cookies are so cute!!

  107. For Christmas, I want to see my friends and family more! That’s my favorite part about the holidays, having everyone come into town and visit.
    These cupcake cookies are adorable!

  108. Ooooh, awesome giveaway! I want some new cookbooks for Christmas. :)

  109. I want Ree’s Cookbook! Other than that I just want to see my kids’ smiling faces on Christmas morning. :)

  110. a new camera…mine broke as well :(

  111. For Christmas, I would really, really like it if my family got together and helped me tackle one of the bigger projects in the house but honestly, since that is about as likely to happen as me playing for the NHL, perhaps one of those contraptions that you put old negatives through to save them to digital.

  112. I just moved into a new yet very old house so this year I want to be unpacked and settled with everything on the walls and in its place by Christmas!

  113. I want to spend some time with my family and make/eat a lot of blog-found recipes.

  118. I got my best gift exactly 7 weeks ago when we welcomed an 8 pound baby boy into our lives. He’s all I need this year!

  119. I’d really just like it if my whole family could be together for Christmas this year…

  123. I want a PW cookbook, several music cds and a new mixer. I also want an Airedale Terrier dog! Hubby has picked one out today and we get a puppy in March in time for my birthday so its kinda a Christmas present!

  124. I want my girls to understand the true reason for the season – but being two and almost two it’s har to grasp – especially with santa on the brain. I want them to have a magical day filled with wonder and delight. And a SLR camera for a newbie photographer for me :)

    Giving this book as part of my sister’s Christmas gift – would love to have one for myself :)

  125. I love your blog – you always have so many cute ideas! I have to say that I’ve already gotten my gift with my sweet newborn!

  126. For Christmas I would like the temperature to get out of the double digit minuses, and for everyone to converge on the house safely without running afoul of the icy roads. And if I could lose the 30 pounds, that would be nice too.

  127. I want my husband to arrive safely in Iraq…and return safely to us in time for Christmas next year.

  128. A composter is what I really want!!!!?!!!

  129. I want photo editing software, so i can make my pics look really cool.

  130. I would love a drama-free Christmas with my sweetie and our animals. I want both of our families to be healthy and safe and happy, and I want them to be somewhere else, hence the drama-free part.

    And I would love this wonderfully happy little kit!

  131. I would like to take my family on a cruise for xmas.

  132. I want to be done with finals!! And I want to just kick back and relax with my family. Oh, and lots of Christmas cookies wouldn’t hurt :)

    Love,
    A really good girl in Snowy Salt Lake

  141. I asked for the cookie craft book =)
    I really want to learn how to decorate cookies like that!
    not even kidding haha, also asked for a bunch of my very own baking supplies so i can make up my own amazing creations!

    I also asked for a plane ticket to mexico to get out of this yucky snow…but that I probably won’t get ;)

  142. I am so in love with this blog. My husband is not. My amazon wishlist gets bigger with every post you make.

    As for what I want this year, I would love to have a big family dinner, with my entire family, sitting around a huge table – gift exchange would be lovely, but mainly just the dinner.

  143. I’d love to have a white Christmas in Los Angeles!

  144. just a night away with my hubby… we have a disabled son and it is hard to find someone who wants to babysit him… a night with no worries and no kids would be the best gift ever!

  145. One day I’m going to learn how to work with royal icing! For Christmas, I’d love my daughter to be fully potty trained. :) We started the journey on Friday!

  146. i want world peace. and an iPod. =) LOVE the cookie pics, btw… cheers!

  147. I would love to have time with my two sons, one daughter and one son-in-law. And although I won’t get them all at the same place at the same time I will get time with all of them at some point in the holiday.
    By the way, the cookies are lovely!

  148. I love this website and giveaway!

    I cannot wait to see my boys’ faces on Christmas morning, they really “get it” this year. I am also getting 2 things that I really want – family pictures from an amazing photographer and a family vacation to go see snow. Have a great holiday!

  149. Hmm, Christmas list…

    Pioneer Woman’s cookbook
    The DVD of Pixar Short Films I discovered the other day…

  156. A maid!!!!!

  157. Oh my these are cute. I NEED that cupcake cookie cutter. That’s all I want for Christmas, well that and maybe one of those delicious looking cookies.

    I want to spend the holidays realaxing with family and watching my (almost) 3 year old play with her new toys. As far a presents, I’d like some new pots and would love a great new book.

  158. I want to eat plenty of Christmas treats and to not feel guilty afterwards! :)

  159. Oh my gosh that is such a cute baking set! I need a memory card for Christmas because silly me forgot to get one when I bought a camera on Black Friday (my very first camera!).

  160. I want my husband to get me a thoughtful gift. Or card. Or gesture. Anything that he’s actually put some thought into.

  161. I want my family to be healthy & happy!

  162. I actually got the camera last year for Christmas (the canon rebel) using my birthday, christmas, and graduation money – and this year I would LOVE the lens so I can actually have some zoom shots! :) I love the cookies, they are perfect!

  165. I want my baby girl to have everything her heart desires!

  166. Oh those are WAY too cute! The little gingerbread man is my absolute favourite detail.

    I would love to see my family for Christmas. It’s been four years since I saw my parents or brother, but alas they are on the other side of the world!

  167. I am so in love with your blog. To me, you are the mecca of baking. You made me fall in love with cooking again. Thank you so much!

    This Christmas I just want my husband and I to be happy. Things haven’t been so great so I hope the holidays will bring some cheer for us.

    Thank you again for bringing me back to my oven and falling in love with baking!

  168. I would love to have a laptop or a new camera!

  184. I want a new camera!! And those awesome goodies!!

  185. I would love to stay home in my nice cozy home and have my family come to me for the holidays (instead of driving all over Texas and Oklahoma). Oh, and the usual, I would love it if I could eat all the holiday yummies I want without gaining a single pound.

  188. I want a laptop. Mine crashed about a month ago and my blog has suffered since!

  189. I’d love a camera just like the Canon you are using. We can’t afford it so it will stay a wish. The other thing that I’d like is to just enjoy this holiday with my kids. They are 7 and 10 so it won’t be too long before we are not cool enough..lol Happy Holidays!
