I had my first holiday baking experience, with my new life style (of no sugar). I am happy to report it went well. Our mid-week service at church this week is our Thanksgiving meal. We usually have more food than we can shake a stick at. My kids wanted to do "turkey" cookies. I also made a large salad with lots of veggies to take (I have to know there is something there I can eat ;0). The kids helped me bake the cookies and deco them. My kids are 8-3-3 and they were all able to do the decorations with little assistance.

I LOVE sugar cookies, but I did not eat one bite. I did not lick the frosting. Yes, thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!

They turned out so cute:

You can find the recipe here. **Note: Mine did not have candy eyes, I could not find a mini m&m or baking bits in the whole big grocery store~ we just used the black gel to make the eyes**

Be blessed,

Love the turkey cookies. That is one we haven't done before. I know how you feel about not eating while you bake, but the more you do it the less tempting it is. I just decided that, that lick of icing was not worth all the calories and time on the treadmill to burn them off.
