Decorating Christmas Cookies ~ December 2012

Our December meeting was at Betty Ann's home.  What a festive gathering!  Betty had the cutest table top "Christmas tree".    The tree was a large branch she had secured in a bucket and decorated with plain sugar cookies.  What a fun, festive and simple idea!

We started the evening with gingerbread martinis - YUMMY!  We then decorated different sugar cookies that Betty purchased from Ikea - no idea they had cookies.

Of course we had a cookie swap.  So many cookies - so little time.  There were so many delicious cookies: Oatmeal Butterscotch, Raspberry Swirl, Chocolate Mint, Walnut crescent, Raspberry Almond Shortbread.  All went home with plenty of each!

Cindy joined us as well... unfortunately it was after I had my camera out and totally forgot to take new pics!

What a wonderful night!  Just need to get the cookie recipes posted.
