"Holy hand cramps, Batman!"With Halloween just a few days away, I decided to make some cookies to bring to work. I swear these guys are already spoiled from me bringing them so many goodies lately. Here is an example of how my day goes at work:
"Bring us some biscuits again, Dorothy. I didn't get one last time because T. ate three."
"When are you bringing something again? Cause my birthday is next month, you know."
"Next time bring a red velvet cake. With cream cheese frosting. And a casserole. A casserole would be nice."
It's a good thing I have nothing else better to do with my time and that I really enjoy baking for them. I'm still working out some kinks in the whole cookie making and decorating process, so I promise next time they will be much prettier. Outline first, then flood with icing is definitely the way to go. Because that's not the way I did it, and it shows! We'll see if the cookies are a success on Monday. I used the popular "No Fail Sugar Cookie" recipe found on numerous websites even though I'm always skeptical when a recipe claims to be "no fail" or "best ever." Maybe it's just my oven or whatever, but next time I either need to use different cookie sheets or jack up the oven temperature because my cookies took longer than the 8-10 minutes specified in the recipe. It was more like 12-14 minutes. Oh well, it's all a learning experience for me.
I think I did pretty well for my first attempt, if I say so myself :) And ye
ah, my ghosts and bats all have the Crazy Eye. On purpose. Check out this guy:
His leg broke off so I reattached it with some royal icing and put a cast on him. How could you want to eat him now?
