Christmas Cookie Bake Fest 2011

Now that the holidays (and excuses for massive over-eating) are behind us, I can finally get back "on track", aka, a track. I didn't make a concrete New Years Resolution, except to be better...at everything...ie: design, my job, learning, cooking, being healthy(er), cleaning, friendship, exploring, blog-posting, impromptu dance-partying, etc.

But, I can't let 2011 go without sharing my cookie baking experience. This is the 2nd year that I have had cookie-bake-fest, which entails me locking myself in my kitchen for 48 hours, and of course making a huge floury, cookie doughy, confectioners sugary mess! It was great, until I had to clean it up. Special thanks to Martha Stewart for her sugar cookie and royal icing recipe.

The setup. Of course I moved into the living room for decorating so I wouldn't miss Sunday football!
