Lovely, a cookie cutter can only give shape but the decorations are fabulous .

Would you share your cookie recipes? Here or on "Any Baker" thread - Would love to see the Orange BO recipe

I didn't really follow recipes, I just kinda winged it. For orange cookies, add the juice and zest of an orange to your basic sugar cookie ingredients, and save some to add to the frosting.....
Obviously I am not an authority on Christmas baking...lol
I look forward to seeing everyone's contributions ....

Oh darn, we're baking on the first. I guess we can just eat them on the 4th

Well, in spite of the fact that I know BYC's expert bakers/decorators will be entering magazine worthy creations, here's my humble entry....
Gingerbread hens and Orange Orpingtons:

For what it's worth, they are made w whole grain, lol..
I got this vintage chicken cookie cutter at a flea mall a couple years ago. It says "3 french hens" on it, so it's part of a set. You might be able to find them on Ebay, and there must be geese-a-laying, swans-a-swimming, calling birds, partridges, as well as the whole 12 days available....

My problem is if I bake them on the 1st, they're gone by the 4th
