A few years ago, I had a holiday cookie decorating party for my closest girlfriends. We drank champagne, rolled cookie dough (sugar cookies and gingerbread), dished celebrity gossip, it was hands down one of the best parties I have ever thrown or been to! Several of the ladies brought different colored sugar, sprinkles, red hots, all the things we remember decorating cookies with when we were small! Some of the ladies even brought sweet little aprons to wear, the kind that are only from the waist down with ruffles. We used a variety of cookie cutters, some were seasonal and some were wacky animal shapes, like elephants and lobsters! Lobsters are a great excuse to make an exclusively red hot decorated cookie... And you can give them to all your New Englander friends...
Toward the end of the afternoon, one of our cookies had been given a pink bikini, and I think most of us went home for the afternoon to 'recover' from the festivities. I haven't yet been able to repeat the party theme, but it is on my mind quite a bit, especially as the holidays approach!
Why not throw your own cookie decorating and champagne party? All you need to do to prepare is make the cookie dough, put some champagne on ice, and round up some fun ladies for an afternoon! Everyone can go home with a little package of cookies.
