![]() ![]() We started off the month with lots of ideas and enthusiasm. I bought an Elf on the Shelf Gingerbread Activity Set, and two books – Elf On The Shelf Scout Elves at Play Paper Crafts and Scout Elves at Play: Tools and Tips for your Scout Elf! 21 new Elf on the Shelf ideas This year I bought a few books and extra accessories to help me as there’s nothing worse than remembering you haven’t moved your Elf when you’re off to bed.

Before the cookies cool down completely, grab the pieces and make a little test and see if the pieces fit, if there are pieces that are a little bigger or not even, this is the time that you can cut them to fit using a flat sharp knife, after they are completely cool you can't cut them as they will be hard.December whizzes by pretty quickly for any family but especially for parents who are trying to hide an Elf on the Shelf.

The baking time will depend on the size and thickness of your cookies, I normally bake them from 10-16 minutes, like this dough is dark is tricky to see when is done, you need to pay attention on the edges of your cookies, when they start turning darker it means that they are ready. Put the same pieces in the same baking sheet, for example bake the front and back in the same baking sheet so this way they will bake evenly. Transfer the parchment paper with the cookie dough on top to your baking sheets and cut the cookies.Īfter you cut out your cookies you will need to leave at least 1/2 " in between each cookie, each recipe makes the cookies grow a different way after baking, this is why is better to try the recipe ahead of time.
