One of my favorite Christmas traditions is decorating cookies with my mother.

This year, we did one batch of white and one batch of gingerbread. That's a lot of cookies! Each cookie is unique. (Okay, so after nearly three decades of decorating cookies together, we get a few duplicates. So what?)
The cookies have to dry, sometimes overnight, before they can be stacked in containers.

Naturally, there are a few that turn out (unexpectedly) great. Which is your favorite?
(Unlike most years, Ma and I both agreed that the Santa was the gold medalist.)

Did I mention we also made chocolate chip cookies and spritz?
Bon apetit!
