This year was my second Cookie Exchange Extravaganza, and I made sugar cookie Christmas sweaters and mittens \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

For the sweaters I used Sweet Sugar Belle’s royal icing recipe<\/a> again and separated the icing into red, green and white. As the planning continued, my strategy got simpler and simpler… Maybe another time I can make all of them customized and silly with santas, snowmen, reindeer, presents, lights, sleighs, chimneys etc.<\/p>\n

Since the royal icing takes a number of hours to set, I baked and created the background icing layers one day, and piped the detail in white another…<\/p>\n

And off to the exchange I went! Look at the piles of amaaazing cookies that everyone brought!<\/p>\n

For my NEXT\u00a0<\/em>three dozen (remember–strategy got simpler and simpler… eight<\/em>\u00a0dozen sweater cookies, ok six\u00a0<\/em>dozen sweater cookies, ok only two base colors and white decoration, ok actually\u00a0three<\/em> dozen sweater cookies and three other dozen of something else…that will be faster to bake and decorate)….. I made mitten cookies dipped in semi-sweet chocolate and garnished with little cookie stars and snowflake sprinkles! There were a few I tried edible glitter, but the glitter got away from me… :\/<\/p>\n
