Santa's Mustache Cookies!

Something happens when I walk down the gift wrap aisle at my favorite stores.
I see cute bags and instead of thinking... "Oh I want to put a gift in that!!"... ...my brain says... "That NEEDS to be a cookie!!!" So I made these.

I squealed in the middle of Target when I saw it. (really good way to embarrass your teenage son by the way)

You can't blame me though, can you?

Kind of a cookier's dream come true really....only two colors, no hand-cutting,  no special cutters, easy-peasy.

Well I did use a mustache cutter.....but still one color!

We'll be leaving these out for Santa this year!

I hope I can keep the elf from eating them first!

Elf on the Shelf Cookies!

Does your house have an elf?

Last year we adopted James...

He's a mischievous little stinker sweetheart.

We've found him in closets, on top of the Christmas tree, in my mixer!

One morning we found him under Jack's bed!! (Which I appreciated, since Jack was supposed to clean under there  and couldn't quite remember to get that done!)

He's quite the little tattletale.... (the elf not Jack....well maybe Jack too)

But with that cute little face....you've just gotta love him.

So if you have an elf in your house...

I hope they catch all the sweet little things your munchkins do this holiday!
And if you can't find him anywhere....check under the bed!
(and if you need a cutter to make your own elves.... try "Marlene" from Cristin's Cookies. That's the one I used! You can find it HERE
