Christmas Cookies With Nonnie

When I was a kid, my mom, brother and I would bake and decorate cookies for Christmas. Mom and I started this with Cole last year.  Cole helped me mix the ingredients and knead the dough...then he got bored so he sat in his chair and colored.  He did help me decorate once they were all cooled.  We took the finished cookies to the neighbors.  I had bought some cello bags, but the glitter gel didn't harden...note to self next year, so we packaged up the non-glitter gels ones in the bags and hand delivered a few of the glitter ones separately.

I'm ready, Nonnie.
