Sooooooooo, tomorrow is the last day of school. Do you have the gifts for the teachers ready? No? So you did not listen to me a few weeks back when I warned you to get going on the holiday projects. I told you if you did not get with the program it was going to come back to bite you. And here it is the night before the last day of school before Christmas break with no teacher gifts.

Oh… so sorry folks, I was talking to myself again. (I do that a lot.)
BUT we still have time to pull this off!
Run, don’t walk, to the hobby store and grab some cookie cutters, cardboard boxes, and ribbon.
Then run, don’t walk, (it’s probably faster to drive) to the grocery and get sugar, flour, eggs, and vanilla. (Or buy the premade sugar cookie dough. I won’t tell if you do.)
Roll that dough out, and bake the cookies inside the cutters.
After fully cooled, throw those puppies in a gift box, ribbon it up and voila!
Fastest homemade teacher gift everrrr!
You saved the day! Your kids will not look like losers showing up at school with nothing for the teachers. Now they won’t fail next semester. And you are supermom in the eyes of your offspring.
You can thank me later.
Get in the car and go. Now!

Sharon, I’ve been lurking ever since I found your cakes on CakesDecor. I love your recipes and your style of writing! And the cookies look beautiful!
Sharon,
Thanks for sharing your lovely talent with us. You have such neat ideas and you pull them off so beautifully and you entertain while you instruct. Truly a gift.
Merry Christmas and may God bless you and yours always.
This is so unique. It gives me a good reason to buy those cute cookie cutters that I so often admire. I can see where this will work for all cookie cutter occasions. Good thinking and forever thanks.
That’s a neat idea. But won’t those p,attic cutters melt if you bake in them?
I love your blog. Thanks so much, for your effort. I think that you need to delegate the laundry, because you are obviously way tooooo busy, to handle it all by yourself.
Have a very Merry Christmas.
Dang, I wish I saw this a few days ago, great idea!
When I made the cookie dough, it was a little crumbly (for some unknown reason). I added 1T. water to the mix & that worked better. I am typing & baking cookies on Christmas Day. I was way tooooo busy to get to it any sooner.
…one thing about Christmas…if it’s not done by the 25th, you really don’t have to do it anymore. My tree finally got put up on Sunday, last & got lights on it & the Christmas spider, but nothing else.
Oh Well !!! Maybe next year.
