My Holiday Baking: Seeing Stars


I'm a pretty traditional kind of girl, so when it comes to the holidays we have our
family customs just as any family does, and that, of course, includes Christmas 
baking. I seem to bake the same types of cookies every year, family favorites, 
things my mother baked every year that I now try to duplicate.  

Something funny happened this year though. After rolling out ball after ball of 
cut-out dough, I realized that ALL of the cut-outs I baked were stars. Every 
cookie cutter that I used was the same shape: a star!  Yay for stars!



Ready to go into the oven!




Ready to eat!



What did you bake this year?
