HAND COOKIES

- When it's time for me to start baking holiday cookies, a memory of my four sons making their hand cookies comes to mind. What a wonderful memory and tradition that started with my first son over 30 years ago. I would lay out their little hands on the cookie dough and gently and carefully cut around them, then bake those sweet hand cookies with the rest of the holiday cookies. The boys would all line up, side-by-side in front of their cookie shaped from their own hand, each decorating theirs in their very own style. I really created this idea to keep them busy while I decorated the batch of cookies, but instead, what fun memories it has created for me. Their hands have grown from tiny to large, to where only two cutouts would fit on the cookie sheet at a time. One year someone suggested making foot cookies instead...how we laughed! Sometimes I wish I could take time back to where we all were together laughing and joking with each other. Who knows...I might even let them do their feet this time! Thanks to my sons for the wonderful memories. It must have meant something to them, also, because last year one of my sons called me and asked if I would make the hand cookies with my grandson. I love Christmas and I feel that it is a perfect time to bring out the old traditions and even create new ones. Now I get to share this tradition with my grandchildren and create all-new memories.
