Puddin' Head Gingerbread Cookies (Revisited)

I decided to kick off the Christmas cookie making festivities this year with one of my favorites, puddin' head gingerbread men. If you've been a reader of this little ol' blog for a while you may remember these treasured treats from this post two years ago.

This year my cookie monster decided to help. We had a lot of fun making cookies and chit chatting about the Christmas season and why Bonnie is so fantastic. You know, the important topics of life.

Once the cookies were baked, I performed the obligatory test for "quality control" and determined that they were fit for consumption. It's a tough job but one I take very seriously. That is how I rationalize eating three cookies in a row. My little helper had never tasted a Christmas cookie..or any cookie for that matter. I couldn't resist giving her just a wee bite.

It was a hit! Not the sweetest cookie in my collection, but a definite winner with Miss Cricket. I love that her first Christmas cookie was a recipe passed down from my mama. It is so special to me when recipes get passed down from generation to generation. It's a tangible memory and so fun to make something you know your grandmother made. Especially, something that tastes so darn good! Cookie Monster and Mama approved!
