Musing on Halloween Cookies for Thanksgiving. Who’s the turkey now?

Musing on Halloween Cookies for Thanksgiving. Who’s the turkey now?

Another Chapter filed under I never did this as a child so I have to do it with my children or their childhoods will be utter failures is making holiday cut out cookies.

Since Christmas has turned crazy the last few years, I got this great idea to decorate cookies at Halloween.

Here are the Halloween cookie cutters.

Notice they have never been used.

I might was well mention they were not used Halloween 2010 either.

Thanksgiving.

Perfect time for cookies.

Here is the Halloween dough.

 

This dough was made and has been refrigerated since Halloween. Halloween 2011 not 2010.

 

So when the kids got home today, the flour was flying.

 

Note to self. Change from exercise gear before flour.

 

Also just noticed in two months my foot has turned the color of flour.

Most excellent.

FYI, Thanksgiving and fall-ish cookie cutters are in the shape of oak leaves (which look rather like Christmas trees), acorns (small and large), pumpkins and turkeys.

So we had our Kodak makin’-the-cookies moment.

Check that off the list.

And check out this turkey. I think it turned out really creepy (I mean cool) with our Halloween sprinkles.

 

Gobble, gobble.

 

Do you make Thanksgiving cut outs?

Surely I must be the only turkey who does….

    Oh, but at least you did make them!

    Importantly, how were they?

    (I love cookies! :))

    They were okay Galit. Not the best I’ve had. The ginger cookies sound like a good option next year.

    Can I tell you how happy I am to know that I’m not the only one whose great intentions don’t always happen as I envisioned? I went crazy buying up Halloween cookie cutters, sprinkles, and icing this year… only to put them in a cabinet and not use them. Ugh. I had good intentions to make Thanksgiving goodies instead, but I’m not holding my breath. 🙂 Congrats on getting it done!

    I know Cheryl. Good intentions… Glad that’s checked off my list.
