Since we're still talking about elf cookies...

[wannabe]

I used some leftover gingerbread dough to try my hand at it. The face still isn't right, but close enough that the bean was excited to see them.

Wow! They look awesome!!!

Whore! But wow, those look awesome.

[limey]

Looks great!

Those are using the frosting pens, right? Do you have any you recommend or any other supplies?

[wannabe]

I used these pens for the face: www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0020ZURDI

Cute!

Wan these are even decidedly less creepy than the inspiration cookie NQB posted. I'm not an elf fan, but yours are really cute!!

[karinothing]

ha ha Wan you are just mean! I never knew about these frosting pens. I am going to have to check them out. Thanks for the rec

[heyrebekah]

Adorable! Still kinda creepy though.

Do they sell those frosting pens at Michael's? I'm getting ready to do some cookies this weekend. Although I suppose they would be more helpful if I had even rudimentary drawing skills with a regular pen.

[wannabe]

NQB, thanks again for the inspiration! I've had those pinned forever to try and you reminded me to do them.

[jigsy]

Again, like I said in the other post, if I ever have an in-office cookie contest, I will be hiring Wan so that my cookies are delicious and adorable. Winning is fun, and I am okay to do it by cheating. lol

This is kind of a tangent, but the posts you've done with the elf doing crazy things around your house totally cracks me up. I actually showed it to a few people because I think it's so funny!

[cjeanette]

cuppycat!!!

[wannabe]

The only places I've found the pens are online and specialty baking shops. Amazon is likely your best bet.

Amazon has some on Prime that could be to you tomorrow with 1 day shipping.

Wow! It's like I can't even tell which ones are yours and which ones are NQB's.

Ha!

I actually thought I had pens leftover from a Halloween project but alas I couldn't find them.

I love this. I'd see your comments and think, I wonder if this is the same rikki from MM!

Those are awesome!

Did I mention that said leftover cookie dough was from a friend who had me bake her cookie exchange offering every year? Haha!

[Roc A Bee]

So cute! I live seeing your projects in your blog!

[cookies]

Wow! Great job!

[gt7301b]

Wow, poor NQB.

[chia]

Did NQB post a pic of the finished product? I haven't been online much the last couple of days... please link!

Question is...what is better? Elf gate or the cupcake gate with the candy corn (what the heck was that called anyway?)

Cuppyright

Only thing that would have made these better is if you'd drawn little Hitler mustaches on them!

[knitty]

You can get those pens in Joanns (or Michaels, one or the other).

Omg Jenny, I am dying. :-(

I still can't believe NQB was on bedrest, was cleared & decided to make super hard cookies for a contest like 10 minutes later. I can't manage slice & bake on a good day. PS Wan is a cookie Jedi.

Here is (I hope) one of the elves I did this year.



The face is very basic as I was afraid I'd screw it up if I tried to get artistic.

red- those are amazing!
