Santa Cookies




Santa let Landon know that he was expecting some cookies when he came to deliver presents on Christmas Eve, so last night we hurried to make some for him. We were able to make these at my mom's house with the Callens, which made it even more fun! My sister, Crystal, and her family came on Saturday for the holiday and so we went out last night to visit and make the special cookies.

I cheat on Santa cookies and just use the holiday cake mix for them. The recipe is on the side of the cake mix box for those of you that haven't tried making these yummy cookies yet. It only makes a couple dozen cookies, which is great, and the kids only care about frosting them anyway...so it gets my part out of the way quick! ;0)

It was hilarious to watch Riley and Mackenzee attempt to frost the cookies. Riley piled his frosting high, while Mackenzee was more concerned with just piling on the sprinkles. Genea had to make hers just perfect, and Landon just wanted to eat his. ;0) Santa is definitely going to be on a sugar high tonight!

okay so what the crap. This was just last night and I know you didn't go home until like 9:30 or so and you already have this posted?!! :) It was great fun. Riley had to show papa when he got home he was so proud of himself!!!
