Congrats to DarleneH for getting all the cookie guesses correct! You can see all the answers in this post.

normal Christmas cookies

Long-time readers know that at our house, Christmas cookies are always a little bit on the unusual side of things.

And most of them have faces. I believe this grumpy tree is the cookie that started it all, years ago.

Faces on cookies would never have occurred to me, but luckily, my kids are significantly more creative than I am.

Christmas cookies with faces

I may not have thought of the idea myself, but I have definitely embraced it, as has Mr. FG. Eyeballs are a non-negotiable part of our cookie decorating kit now.

This one was inspired by a new phone case. 😉
