Failed at Sugar Cookies

Have you ever had good intentions about something but it didn't turn out exactly as you had imagined it.   That was me last night as I was "trying" to make Christmas cookies.

This afternoon is my work party and we are supposed to bring 2 dozen cookies to exchange with everyone.  I've been out of town for the past 10 days so as you can imagine I'm behind on everything!!  I can't believe Christmas will be here soon.  Where did the time go?

Last night, I rushed home to get started on my amazing sugar cookies.  In my mind, I had imagined these fabulous sugar cookies decorated to perfection. 

Maybe.... something like this??

As I got home last night and changed into comfy clothes.....I started to fall asleep at 6:30 pm.   I should also mentioned I'm on east coast time and very very sleep deprived.

As I attempted my cooking making, I realized quickly I had forgotten key ingredients   Thank goodness for my husband and coming to the rescue by stopping by the store before coming home.

Tea Cup Cookies!

Unfortunately, my sleepiness was still an issue as I kept screwing up the recipe.

Looks more like a Genie Lamp!

One screw up after another....finally I threw up my hands....and gave up. 

Anyone know of some good bakery's in the Phoenix area??  

I'm in need of some COOKIES... ASAP!!  :)
