Christmas Cookies!!


My Grandmother gave me a special cake/cookie pan and these are the cookies that Olivia and I made and decorated.  These were sugar cookies.  This recipe came with the the pan.


These are gingerbread cookies that my friend, Erika and I made.  Here is the recipe.  It is really yummy dough.  I think the lemon makes it taste extra good!

1 1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 TABLESPOON ground Ginger
1 3/4 tsp cinnamon

3/4 c. brown sugar
1 large egg
1/2 molasses
2 tsp Vanilla
1 tsp finely grated lemon zest (the best part)
1 -2 TBS water

Mix all together. Let dough stand at room temperature for 2 hours
