Cookies For Santa Blog Hop




Happy Saturday Crafty Friends!
and
Welcome to the Cookies For Santa Blog Hop
 
 
Today we have a group of fun crafty ladies sharing with you cookie recipes and creative way to package cookies.
 
You should have come from Denise's blog.  If you just happened upon my blog, be sure to start at the beginning, Lisa's blog.


Here is what my youngest and I baked to share with you.



 

Since I have been pretty busy lately working full-time (and over-time) I thought I'd share how to have some baking fun with your little ones and still make great cookies.

We bake lots of goodies for Family and Friends at the Holidays, and most of them are made from scratch.  But occasionally you need a treat and don't have lots of time for prepping.  There are a lot of refrigerator cookies and boxed mixes that you can use.  It's okay if you don't make everything from "scratch", it's more about the baking and decorating memories.  And with the little ones, they may loose interest if the prepping takes too long.

Supplies:

Pillsbury refrigerator Sugar Cookie dough 
Christmas sprinkles



Cookie "box" is an svg file from SVG Cutting Files, "Santa Fry Box"
(this fry box fits 4 large cookies perfectly)
"Simply Red" Rumple Ribbon from Lovebug Creations



Jaded Blossom "Treat Tag Die"
Jaded Blossom "Cookies For You" stamp
Recollections card stocks
"Simply Red" Rumple Ribbon from Lovebug Creations



We had lots of fun baking these cookies, and even more fun eating them :)


You next stop is Carla's blog.


Thanks for stopping by!
