FollowC is for Cookie, Christmas and Calories

We just made our new favorite Christmas cookies after reading about them here. Typically, I bake cut-out cookies, and then the kids frost and decorate them. This is cute, but the cookies end up being so s-w-e-e-e-e-e-t. The frosting sends them right over the edge into sugar overload.
In this case, the kids got to paint their cookies before they were baked (we used new Crayola paint brushes, but next year, I’ll spring for some expensive brand since the Crayola’s tended to drop bristles onto my cookies! Grrrrrr. . .).
The kids loved painting their food. Here is Jilly, hard at work:
And here is Belly, with her culinary masterpieces.

Check out this cute little guy. He has no idea I’m about to bite off his head.
After the cookies were baked and cooled, we decorated them with little dots and lines of sugary icing. I think next year we’ll have to make a quadruple batch since these were completely gone within three days. I think they should be called “Gone Before Christmas Cookies”.
