I'm ridiculously, pathetically proud of these cookies. Well... I've never done so many before. Yet, at the same time, I'm also a little diappointed. I mean, I thought that it would just look.... more! Of course, this was the easy bit. I've got to start decorating and bagging them up tomorrow. Eeek! The decorating isn't hard. I mean, it's not like I'm going to royal ice them. Royal icing gives a gorgeous finish. But it's a heck of a lot more work. And seeing as a) there are so many of them and b) they're freebies..... But royal icing cookies does look beautiful. No, the way I'm doing it will just be fiddly!This is Rita's website. Rita is the lovely lady who taught me about cake decorating. http://www.amatterot.com/gallery/view_album.php?set_albumName=Cookies-and-favours
See what a gorgeous finish her cookies have. Mine will be different, as I'm going to use a thin red strip of sugarpaste to decorate them with. But Rita would have used royal icing! ;o) When I grow up, I want to be Rita.
