My mom makes the dough and the kids roll it out and cut the cookies. We make at least four cookie sheets worth!
I have to share a secret with you: We make UGLY cookies. And we love them. This is why it's so fun and why we're still decorating them even as adults.
We use a drizzled kind of frosting, so the cookies are tasty but....not perfect in appearance. I think we've made some really cool cookies though.
Harry Potter cookies to go along with our obsession. These are Jasmine's. She made that golden snitch cookie that says "I open at the close" cool, huh? Don't forget about Harry, Ron, Hermione and Voldemorte
She made the Weasley family too!
Now for some not so pretty cookies:
Michael Jackson, RIP!
Jaime by Jaime (I added an elephant for some class)
My favorite on here is by my brother-in-law, he did the NC State cookie. I was impressed!
Frosting Recipe:
Ingredients:
1 lb Powdered Sugar
6 Tablespoons of Whole milk
6 Tablespoons of light corn syrup
1 Teaspoon of almond or vanilla extract
Directions:
With a whisk, combine sugar and milk until smooth. Then mix in corn syrup and extract. We put about 3/4 cup into a mug and then add food coloring and stir. We use spoons to drizzle the frosting on and tooth picks for accents.
Do you make Christmas cookies every year? Ever made ugly ones?

Ya'lls cookies look just like ours! Well, except the Michael Jackson one. We have done this for the last 15 years or so. I am the one who bakes them and then my family of 18 gets together and decorates them. My dad is the cookie king who loves sprinkles and has to have THOUSANDS on his. Looks like ya'll have as much fun as we do.
cute!
The NCSU cookie jumped out at me (though I'm still not sure what shape it is). Go Wolfpack! And I think these are adorable, especially the HP ones.
Love the Michael Jackson cookie that made me giggle!
so much fun
I really LOVED the Harry Potter themed ones. You guys always do the coolest projects!
Thank you, Thank you, I'm a cookie artist! I am excellent at Michael Jackson, waving Santa Claus, and Harry Potter themed cookies.
My mouth is watering thinking of eating these, yummy.

Oh how I love sugar cookies, and the homemade ones are always so much better then the store bought.

Your kitchen table looks just like ours after a day spent decorating cookies. You can't create art without creating a mess!
