so every year, like most families with little kiddos, we make cookies for santa. the biggest difference from me and most families would be that i have never made them from scratch. i am most definitely the mom at the grocery store on christmas eve scrounging up the last tub of pre-maid sugar cookies and calling it a day.
this year, i thought ava deserved a half way decent mother the fun experience of making the cookies from scratch. i went to the store a {gasp} week before christmas and gathered the ingredients that were listed on the recipe i got online. fast forward to chirstmas eve. it was about 2:30 p.m. and we had our second chirstmas of the week at 4:00 p.m. we had just enough time to whip up these pain in the A precious cookies for santa! we i mixed all the ingredients on the list while the oven was preheating. then i got to the step that said 'chill dough for at least one hour before baking'. momFAIL. there was no way i was going to have enough time before the christmas to get the cookies baked, let alone frosted and ready for the big guy. luckily, aunt sarah came to the rescue with back up cookies for santa, and we made the sugar cookies on chirstmas day.

Santa enjoyed the back up chocolate chip cookies. the sugar cookies from scratch were good, but so not worth the hassle. pretty sure i am going back to the store bought basics next year!
