I made a simple but festive decorated sugar cookie tree with my kids.

I love to bake! It was my hobby as a teenager and I’m still using the same sugar cookie recipe that I’ve had since high school cooking class. I love to bake sugar cookies at Christmastime but the decorating of each cookie can be daunting.

I found a cookie cutter set that you can make into a cookie tree and which only needed minimal decorating for.Perfect for this time of year.

With my kids now out of school for Christmas vacation, they helped bake with me today and my daughter was around for all these photos.

This is my favorite sugar cookie recipe that I’ve had since high school with this cookie cutter tree set.

You just need a little bit of icing (or frosting) in between each cookie and assemble it on a plate. I also used four large marshmallows as a ‘trunk’. (Initially I was putting mini marshmallows between each cookie but then scrapped that idea as it was topping over).

I always make my own icing but I just grabbed store-bought red icing to decorate it, spread coconut flakes on the plate, and dusted it all with icing sugar. A mini marshmallow becomes the star.

My kids had a great time baking with me and I didn’t spend hours in the kitchen baking.

And the best part was that they could start eating it right away.

I’ve never shown you this little table of theirs that sits in front of this gorgeous window right in between the kitchen and living room.

Their little area is all decorated for Christmas too.

All these precious little moments are the best this time of year, aren’t they?

It’s feeling pretty Monday like today but I did It’s feeling pretty Monday like today but I did manage to get a load of work done. That’s feels good for a start of the week. 💚 Design dilemma: did you know that changing the doors and trim work jn your house can bring it up to date? If you skip it during a renovation, your house will still look dated. Swipe to see a before photo in my house. Such a difference it makes, right? 💚➡️ Check stories for more details in my blog post.

Recently I wrote a blog post all about Chantilly L Recently I wrote a blog post all about Chantilly Lace by @benjaminmoore. First, I love Simply White. I’ve painted it everywhere in my house, walls, cabinets, doors, trim. The color is perfect in my house. In some houses it shows a yellow undertone. If it does, White Dove is usually a great choice. But this is what I learned about 6 months ago in a color course I took, Chantilly Lace has nearly zero undertone! 💚➡️ Be sure to check out my blog post on Chantilly Lace and all the real house examples. I also have posts on the best way to pick white & grey paint colors in your home. I’ll leave direct links in stories & in a highlight in my profile. 💚
