Baked Gifts

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!

It has become a tradition that I bake cookies before Christmas.  This is a nice way to share something with friends and neighbors without breaking the bank.  And lets face it, I love baking and decorating!  This year I thought I would share a few photos and the links to some of the cookies I baked.  I must give love to Pinterest, of course, for supplying some of the ideas I used for decorating my sugar cookies this year.


Last, but not least, always remember to use cute packaging. It gives the treats a nice touch. I usually scope out a store called Hobby Lobby. I always get mine 50% off. I've used bags, actually cookie boxes, photo boxes, and even disposable Tupperware. I think they were Ziploc and they come in a festive red this time of year. Think outside the box, no pun intended.


Here are some of the links...

Including your children in your holiday baking is a great way to establish a family tradition.

Have a wonderful day and enjoy your friends and families.

Until next time,
Blair
