My mom asked me to make a set of Hanukkah cookies for her boss this year. I am not geometrically inclined, and it took forever for me to figure out how to do one of the Star of David cookies. I really enjoyed making this set, and wish I’d had more time to come up with different designs. I decided to use some Wilton pearl spray to give a pretty silvery sheen to the cookies – they looked lovely in person – not so much in photos.
Apparently the cookies were well-received. My mom got this thank you note (excerpted):
“I just wanted to write and tell you how much I enjoyed your daughter’s cookies that Mike brought home for Hanukkah. They were the best cookies ever! I had every intention of sharing them with the kids until I tasted one and then that went out the window. She did an amazing job and they are/were delicious.” High praise, n’est-ce pas?
