Saint Nicholas Cookies

Aaron was about 18 months old the first time we made Saint Nicholas Cookies.  I have pictures of him covered in flour.  Rachel didn't help us make cookies this year.  She isn't as interested in some of our traditions, but I think she will come back to them.  Part of the reason is she has just been so busy with school work. 
 

The dough is made the day before and chills in the refrigerator over night.  It is full of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger.  This is really an Advent Cookie, but it makes my house smell like Christmas.


It is then formed into balls and shaped on a mold.  This is the most time consuming part.

 
After they are finished we package them individually and give several away as gifts.
