Scarecrow Cookies

I'm so glad it's Friday!

Today is the last day of school for the kids until their Thanksgiving break.

I'm ready for Thanksgiving.  There's going to be fried turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce (that only my hubby eats), green bean bundles.......the list goes on and on. We certainly have a feast.

Wanna know what I'm more interested in? Take a guess?

You got it.....the Dessert. It's the best part of the entire meal. That's why it's last. You always save the best for last.  My favorite dessert is grandma's chocolate pie. You can find the

grandma's chocolate pie recipe

here.  I'll be making two or three pies. That way I'll be sure there's enough....for me, just in case I want to enjoy more than one

pie

piece.

We'll also have cookies. Lots and lots of cookies.

Scarecrow cookies are great for Thanksgiving.  Don't you agree?

I used my

snowman cookie cutter

from

Coppergifts

. They have fantastic cutters. I just took a circle cutter and trimmed off the top of frosty's hat before baking. I wanted the scarecrow to have more of a rounded hat.

To make these scarecrow cookies just follow the instructions below. I used a #2 tip for all of the outlining with the exception of the detail on the button eyes and the straw coming out of the hat. For those I used a #1 tip.

Are y'all ready for the big Thanksgiving feast? Is your favorite thing to eat dessert too?

Snowman Cookies with a twist.....

Hope y'all had a Happy Thanksgiving.

Did y'all miss me?  

I've missed talking with all of y'all.  It's like a part of me has been missing.

Sorry I’ve not been on much, but as you know this week has been a bit hard on me and I’m not back into the swing of things.  I don’t want you guys to think I forgot about y’all. 

I hope everyone had a great day with great family and friends.  My Thanksgiving was great. It was quite interesting. Mom usually handled Thanksgiving, but now it’s up to sis and I. Too goofballs in the kitchen made for a very interesting experience.

There was much chaos that day.  My husband and sister throwing stuff at each other didn’t make matters better.....oh,  No worries, it was fun throwing. My sister and husband are like siblings.  They are always picking on each other, playing pranks, you name it.

Everyone was in Great spirits and the day couldn’t have been better. 

Well let's get to what y'all are here for.....the cookies. I made you some Christmas cookies. When I saw these

cookie cutters

at Fancy Flours, I knew I had to get them. I mean how cute are ornaments turned into Santa? So I bought them right away. 

 I haven't made the Santa ones just yet. The wheels started turning in my head when I got them though. I decided to make some snowmen first. What do you think? I thought you may like them. I've got a bunch of designs going with this set. Let me know what you think about them. 

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. What was your favorite thing about it this year?
