- Janet loved Christmas cookies and liked to help her mom and grandma bake.
- Her little brother sometimes helped, but her dad just ate the cookies and didn’t like to bake.
- They used a cookie press, which looked like a tube with a trigger, to make cookies shaped like Christmas trees, stars, bells, and snowflakes.
- They decorated the pressed cookies with frosting: pink for stars, yellow for bells, green for trees, and light blue for snowflakes.
- For other cookies, they used cutters, rolling out dough and pressing the cutter down to make shapes like Christmas socks and candy canes, then adding frosting and silver balls after baking.
- The final kind of cookie was a sour cream cookie, which was fluffy and topped with sweet white frosting; colored sugar made them pretty, though it wasn’t necessary.
- Baking for Christmas was fun, and they thought about making cookies for other holidays like Thanksgiving, Halloween, or Easter.
- Janet enjoyed spending time with her mom and grandma while baking.
