Even though I have already shared my Sugar Cookie recipe with you, I thought it was worth repeating for the Christmas Cookie series. Yesterday, I hosted a Drop-In and Decorate. Last month when I was visiting Bake at 350 blog, she invited bloggers to participate in a virtual Drop-In and Decorate, decorate Christmas cookies and donate them to a local charity.
We had fun baking and decorating the cookies. Here are some pictures from our day.

We will heading out to make our delivery later today, I will post pictures after we are done.
Update: I took our cookies to the Salvation Army today and they were thrilled. Here are a couple pictures.
And yes, it was snowing, you can see the snow in the picture above.

Be sure to mark your calendars and stop back on December 13th to link up your favorite Christmas Cookies, or just visit to get some great recipes!
Thank you so much for hosting your first Drop In & Decorate party. The cookies are amazing, and I’m sure you brought smiles to so many people in your community with your generous donation. You can check on our blog to read many other cookies-for-donation events going on all around the country.
Great post!! I’m still working on pictures so I can get my post up of DI&D party #1 we’ll be having our 2nd party this weekend!!
I love that you got a picture of you making the donation – my first donation was to a domestic abuse shelter, so I couldn’t do much of that – I had to sign a confidentiality paper that I wouldn’t divulge their location. They were thrilled with the cookies too!
Lucky you- you got help cutting out/baking too!! Isn’t it funny, they’re never too old to enjoy decorating cookies!!
