Now what is it with Christmas cookies? Are they a certain sort of biscuit or are they just decorated festively? We don't do them in the UK.
Here are very UK mince pies the kids (4 & 9) made earlier in the week though - yum!

Thanks
My kids like it. They made snowmen too, but this is what was left of them by the time I got the camera:

The meringues are crispy and basically melt as you eat them. They have Skor bars chopped up in them which I was told aren't available in the states so basically Heath bars.
@GreenGoddess22 Here is a link to the recipe. I make them every year. just beware that you might have to add some extra flour to the batter it can be a bit wet sometimes. http://www.bhg.com/recipe/cookies/melt-in-your-mouth-sugar-cookies/1 -

I dont know why non of the women in my life, feel the need to do nice stuff like this around the holidays. WTF 0 -
My cookies won the office cookie swap award. Aka a $25 debit card. Which I used to buy the cake for today's potluck.

Don't feel bad. Not everyone bakes. I know someone who is a fantastic cook and won't get near baking. It's a phobia for some people because cooking is much more forgiving than baking when it comes to measurements.1 -

How do you even?
The pie filling requires cooking or do you use can?
The crust has to be handled quickly and with cold butter on a cold surface.
Then the edges cook faster than the rest, so you have to make accommodation for that.
It all seems too sensitive to me.
How long does all that take?

I made my first iced chocolate sugar cookies this year that taste great but not Southern Living Magazine worthy.. oh well I get try again next year.2 -
Next batch:
(They seem to be getting sloppier as the day goes on. I should probably eat something, lol!)
These are actually cake:
Not done but at least it looks like I've made progress:

I only ever make my own fillings. I'm picky.
I'll make the filling ahead or use raw
The fat ia both botter and lard.
It's from a book called the professional pastry chef or something like that. It's the best0 -

I've been trying this cookie for the past two years. Still haven't figured it out (first I couldn't find the red, then the base broke. After that is was a hot mess):
I tried....oh well, next year, lol!
