Merry Christmas Eve, everyone!

In a few hours I’ll be driving southbound on the 405 to my family and friends. If I’m lucky I’ll be going over 6mph. Merry, merry holiday traffic.

I’m not quite sure what the curly Q on Rudolph’s forehead is supposed to be.  At first I tried to pipe a healthy tuft of hair, but it looked like a pigeon had pooped on his head.

Small tale of tragedy: I had originally made a dozen cookies, but only 4 made it to the end alive. This is because one night, well into the AM, I entered the apartment in the dark and tossed my 15lb purse onto the table. I woke up the next morning to find that I had effectively smashed most of them.

Wishing everyone a safe holidays!

    Your cookies are so cute. I’m so glad you managed to salvage a few for your post. I bet they still tasted great though.

    I dropped a fruit cake straight out of the oven once. I was heartbroken. I had to make one right away just to make myself feel better.

    I think the swirl is so cute. Kind of like an Elvis-Rudolph :)

    Happy holidays.

      Happy Holidays, Jude! yes, thank goodness for those 4 that escaped tragedy, otherwise I would have nothing to show for a full day of baking. LOL oh i know the feeling; once I made cupcakes and they got ruined in the car ride over to the party. I guess everyone has a baking disaster story or two!

    I just found your blog and I am so happy that I have!
    Your cookies are amazing!

    I am wondering if you use the same general technique for icing all your cookies – the technique you showed in your tutorial ” how to ice a BakeGreek cookie”

    Thanks you so much! And I hope you have a safe holiday and a wonderful new year.

      Thank you so much for stopping by Melissa!

      I do generally use the same technique on all the cookies. Outline, then fill. On larger cookies with simple shapes (circles, hearts, etc) I use a small spatula to spread the icing when i’m filling, rather than a toothpick.

      Happy Holidays to you too! :)

    I just stumbled across your blog, and I am in love, love, LOVE with these little creations!

    I was wondering whether you have this cutter, and where you purchased it from, or whether you made it?

    I love your work.

      Hi Sevlett,

      I got this reindeer cookie cutter at Target — it was a 3-pack with the gift box-shaped one and the santa-shaped one :)

  9. I came across your site and these cookies the other day and I think that they are just the cutest. I bought a three pack of christmas cookie cutters one with a reindeer, santa and present and I’m soooo excited it’s the same cutter! YAY! I think i’ll try a tuft of hair on rudolph and see how that goes.
