However, it was basically my first time baking Cookies (nope.. I'm not kidding) and they didn't turn out as well as I had hoped! There was no attempt of Icing them either! It was just a basic Cookie recipe, and they fell apart when using the Cookie Cutters and transferring them to the tray, and then they spread in the oven whilst cooking. They were actually quite delicious, but goodness I had so much to learn! Well, I'm pleased to say that this year, they were a total success!! Not only did they not fall apart whilst cutting them out, but they actually kept their shape nicely when baking too. Again these ones were\u0026nbsp;delicious like last years ones, but they actually looked super festive this time too! I really enjoyed making this years Christmas Sugar Cookies, and they actually were surprisingly easy to do because I didn't fuss around with too many colour changes with the icing. I decided to do them mostly white, and keep it simple with a sweet and pretty 'White Christmas' look, even though we live in Australia, and Christmas here is HOT. Instead of being cosy inside by the fireplace on Christmas Day, we laze by the pool, have a BBQ and try not to melt like butter! But overall, Christmas is Christmas, no matter where you are in the world. Surrounded by loved ones, sharing gifts and love, and of course having an abundance of food! These Cookies make perfect gifts wrapped up in a\u0026nbsp;pretty little box, or simply a great idea when you have a Christmas party or gathering and need to bring a little plate of something.\u003c/span\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003eThis is quite an extensive post, because theres quite a few different things going on, and I wanted to show you exactly how to achieve the cookies that I made. Even though they were quite easy to make, there were quite a few steps involved. But also keep in mind that other than the actual Cookie recipe and the Icing recipe, the\u0026nbsp;rest is quite flexible. You can just skip down to the parts you're interested in. Also, you can use your own tools and decorations that you have, as you might want to make completely different looking Cookies!

Bake cookies for 10 - 15mins. (Times may vary depending on your oven.) Do not over-cook! When you take them out of the oven, you don't want them to be too golden, and you still want them to be soft. They harden up as they cool. Wait 5-10 minutes for them to cool a little, then place them on a rack to cool completely.\u003c/span\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bMyZoUa-_9A/XBuRr-bUl4I/AAAAAAAAF6g/RhO9-ONTI7MRpT5CefdZ4fJtTnFN7dxsQCLcBGAs/s1600/124A3468.jpg\" imageanchor\u003d\"1\" style\u003d\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cimg border\u003d\"0\" data-original-height\u003d\"533\" data-original-width\u003d\"800\" src\u003d\"https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bMyZoUa-_9A/XBuRr-bUl4I/AAAAAAAAF6g/RhO9-ONTI7MRpT5CefdZ4fJtTnFN7dxsQCLcBGAs/s1600/124A3468.jpg\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xZTsXgmM4UA/XBuRzKdJb_I/AAAAAAAAF60/hFV6NY_Veu80XT7d1rp3-7oCOqFqniCQwCLcBGAs/s1600/124A3620.jpg\" imageanchor\u003d\"1\" style\u003d\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cimg border\u003d\"0\" data-original-height\u003d\"533\" data-original-width\u003d\"800\" src\u003d\"https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xZTsXgmM4UA/XBuRzKdJb_I/AAAAAAAAF60/hFV6NY_Veu80XT7d1rp3-7oCOqFqniCQwCLcBGAs/s1600/124A3620.jpg\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/i\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eNote:\u003c/i\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eAlways let the cookie cool \u003cb\u003eovernight\u003c/b\u003e or for at least \u003cb\u003ea few hours\u003c/b\u003e if you're decorating.

For at least six months now, April's skin has been getting really dry. It's been getting worse and worse, and no creams have helped. We took her to the doctor and was told that she's got eczema. They gave us a script for not one, but TWO large tubes of Steroid cream. She said that Aprils skin was quite bad, so we'd need a lot of it.
