In the middle of the holiday rush of shopping and wrapping and general mayhem, we’re trying to make time for holiday traditions. For as long as I can remember, we have made spritz cookies. An almond-y butter cookie, it always gets shot out of the Super Shooter in the shape of trees, snowmen, or wreaths and then decorated with red hots and other holiday colors.
Neko decorated by haphazardly cramming as many toppings as possible on each cookie, Chris methodically placed each red hot in a particular location, and Shep sat back and ate the toppings while admiring everyone else’s work.
In 2007 I will be publishing my thesis on how one’s personality can be accurately assessed by their cookie decorating.
