Not to be confused with Christmas cookies, which will be right after these little suckers. As you can imagine, this time of year is a pretty popular time for baked goods, in general. And it leaves no shortage of winter and holiday-themed cookies to decorate.
These, though...I think of all the cookies I've been doing for this time of year, these top the list as my favorite. Just like those leaves I played around with before I was hired, I like to go for a more whimsical approach when I do the snowflakes. Hence the swirls and dots and whatnot. And I'm not the only fan! Someone came in and got one of these when they were out for general sale at some point, then came in last week to put in a special order for a dozen of just snowflakes. So, I'll get to do these Monday or Tuesday for that person.
I LOVE special orders. It can sometimes be a little chaotic to balance them with the day-to-day decorating needs, but at the same time, it makes me so excited to know that people have taken note of the cookies and like them enough to put in a special order for more.
I also love the snowman cookies. I went to a party the other day and there was a box of Christmas cookies. I knew right away they were cookies Cherron had made (and a quick peek at the lid of the box confirmed it, as it had the bakery's sticker on there). It was a super boring party -- but the fact that someone had purchased my daughter's cookies to bring for the pot luck kind of made my night (not to mention they were the most delicious thing there!)
