Re: (...)
Me, the most non baking person, bought these today:
3d christmas Cookie Cutters Are they not the neatest thing? Myself and my staff, (there's only 3 of us) decided we would make these to give to our outsource partner's staff at Christmas. The fun part?? We'll need to make and decorate about 140 of them. Any volunteers to help? I'm sure Jean would just LOVE to!!!!
Practice safe lunch. Use a condiment.

OMG, Lorraine, those are sooo cute. To bad I stink at baking cookies.

Bah Humbug!! I love to give gifts, but can never hang on to them until Christmas gets here, so people get gifts throughout the year whenever the whim strikes me; or, when I see something that makes me think of them. Other than the gifts I don't DO Christmas.
Don't wait too long to tell someone you love them.

Many of the staff don't DO Christmas either. We are literally a United Nations. It's just our way of gining them a little something from us.
That should have read "giving" not gining.

Oh yeah, I agree a little Gin makes a great gift

Oh yes! Gin is always a lovely gift - Bob always used to get a lovely bottle of Bombay gin for Christmas - and I always got a wonderful bottle of Maker's Mark! Much better than cookies.
You only live once . . . but if you do it right once should be enough!

Hmmmm. 3D cookie cutters. Makes me wonder if there are any M. C. Escher cookie cutters (didn't find any on the web). LOL!
Also, makes me wish I had bought those M. C. Escher jigsaw puzzles years ago. Just didn't have the money. Imagine: $50 for a jigsaw puzzle - of course, it was of Escher's "Metamorphosis," had 3000 pieces, and was 8 1/2 inches by 11 FEET!
If blueberry muffins have blueberries in them, what do vegan muffins have?

Those are great little cookie cutters! Sure wish I had that kind of patience! It's all I can do to get through the rolling and cutting of regular sugar cookies. We sure do love to eat them though. Very nice gift idea, Lorraine.

"I'm sure Jean would just LOVE to!!!!" - bite your tongue, Lorraine
They must be a bear to frost - looks like they are frosted after being put together? Have fun & I'm glad it's you and not me.

I think they look "dipped" then sprinkled. Is that possible? There will probably be instructions provided for decorating and packing. How you want to present them?
Do you know that Cookies by Design here in the U.S. is getting $9 a cookie now for their cookie bouquets?
