If you have young children, I'm sure you know all about Elf On The Shelf.  This is the fifth year "Joey" has been visiting our house and when I came across some cookies sporting his resemblance, I just had to give them a try. 
Now, I'm not nearly as talented as Bridget from Bake at 350, but my kids were absolutely thrilled when they saw them!  I think I may make them again for Ava's class and hopefully they'll come out even better.
The complete tutorial can be found here.
I used my new favorite sugar cookie recipe and made the template from a Cool Whip lid.
I'm looking forward to trying them out again!
