So while I was out gathering the Christmas dinner, my husband messed around with some leftover gingerbread dough.

Photo of various cat shaped gingerbread cookies on a piece of baking parchment. They have been decorated with white icing in random patterns. Three with the initials of our past cats. One has been decorated to look like a cat x-Ray, the cat having eaten a fish…of course it has.

@helenclayton Nice! I made ginger molasses cookies yesterday, not so artistically however. They eat mighty fine though.

Merry Christmas 🎄 from Northern Germany. ☺️

@druid considering that piping icing is not like using a pen or paint brush 😂.

@helenclayton I just showed them to my husband. I think he thought I was dropping a hint 😂
But once we got past that, he agreed that they are wonderful!
