twinkle, twinkle little fail.

today i started my christmas baking. every year i gather recipes in the hopes i have enough energy and christmas spirit to actually make some. since we have both sides of the family coming to our house this year, i had to step up my game.

aaaand, this is my game.

to be fair, this is the first time i've used star cookie cutters and i'm not impressed. even before i put them in the oven they resembled a deformed version of patrick the starfish from sponge bob square pants.

now, i'm assuming some sort of trimming goes on for pinterest worthy star cookies. seriously, how does one get such perfectly pointed points?

i guess what matters is that they taste good and i didn't burn them. hopefully once they are decorated they'll look a little better. rolled cookies and i don't mix.
