Our Christmas Cookie Plate
Every year we (I) do a bunch of different Christmas cookies for friends, neighbors and family. I usually do sugar cookies with royal icing, gingerbread men (I got lazy and didn't frost them this year), lime meltaways...and this year I did fudge and Twinkle's Christmas Stars. Here is a snapshot of the plate this year!
