So a few weeks ago, I let my dumb and silly self get ideas about making cookies for the 4th. We normally go over to the Davis' every year for the 4th, or they come here. It's a splendid time. :)
Anywho, I decided that I wanted to make sugar cookies. (Am I dumb, or what?) So I thought it over, drew up cookie plans, Mama bought me meringue powder, and I'm due to make these cookies on Friday. And I'm pretty much scared to death. I just know I'll completely screw the whole deal up and we'll have crummy cookies. Then I'll cry. For a very long time.
I've been doing gobs of research. You see, this is my first time making royal icing. And seeing as I over whipped the meringue for Daddy's Lemon Meringue Pie on his birthday, I'm worried that I'll either over or under whip the stuff and then I'll either have broken icing once it dries, or runny and horrible stuff... ARGH!!!
I'm making the cookie dough tomorrow, getting it made, rolled, and cut into the shapes I want. I'm going with circles and stars at this moment... I think I'm going to be freaking out on Friday. But everybody messes up, right? And this IS my first time of ever doing it... :S
I'll be taking pictures, don't worry. Even if they turn out to be messy gobs of nastiness, I'll have pictures. :P
Also, I have 7 1/2 lessons of Geometry to do tomorrow.
Pray for me.
I saw the pictures of your sugar cookies on fb, Lizzie! They look so yummy, and I think you did a superb job icing them. :)
ReplyDeleteDid you actually do 7 1/2 lessons of Geometry? That is a lot of math to do in one day.
I love you!

I think I remember doing a couple of lessons that Thursday, and then I did the rest of them and a test that Friday. I didn't finish until the kids got home. I had about half of my test left and finished it later on.
