C is for Christmas Cookies

Christmas cookies
 C is for Christmas Cookies. We read The Gift of the Christmas Cookie: Sharing the True Meaning of Jesus' Birth by Dandi Daley Mackall, and we made cookies. Last year, I came to the realization that making cut-out cookies with preschoolers is not my favorite thing, so much rerolling of dough and hard to pick up cut-outs. So this year, we will leave the cookie cutters to the adults and we made stamped cookies instead.
  Stamping cookies
We have some special cookie stamps. So I roll the balls of dough and the girls stamp. But if you don't have stampers, you can use the bottom of a fancy crystal glass or little tin with a design on it.
