X'mas 2010 cookies

Suddenly felt like baking some cookies after seeing some gingerbread man cookies on some blogs. So i rummaged thru my cobweb covered box of bento tools and selected a random few.
Ok not exactly a few, quite a lot.

Kids helping to cut the shapes out (at the beginning) and then i shooed them away cos they were just making too big a mess & starting to fight (as always)

Done cookies. Bit too thick my dad said. The dough wasnt very easy to cut as they seem to soften very quickly once removed from the fridge.

Made total of about 8 batches of cookies, that took 4hrs (with a dinner break in between). The shapes get better as we make cos there's a way to press down the cutter onto the dough and lifting it up gently so as not to break it. The cookies were a hit. Both at home with parents, kids, maid and also i brought a box with me to the X'mas party at lyne's and they loved it too. Was great with freshly brewed nespresso coffee.
