Gingerbread Cookies!

We made Kate's Gingerbread cookies (minus the anise) this weekend and they came out great.

When we got married one of the things we asked for was fun cookie cutters; which was the best idea ever.  Cutting out the cookies is of course the best part and I love our collection of animals, dinosaurs, Star Wars and initials.  I get to eat all the C's.

We made Mark Bittman's vanilla icing in various colors with food coloring to top them off.  The icing is difficult to control making many of the cookies look like they had been made by children.

But still very tasty!
