Christmas Shaped Cookie Cutter Pancakes

Christmas Shaped Pancakes

Last year my husband and I started the tradition of making Christmas shaped pancakes for Christmas Eve morning.  Since we are busy splitting Christmas day between our two families, we have made it a point to spend Christmas Eve with just the two of us.


We stepped it up a notch this year in our Christmas pancake shape making by using cookie cutters after Seventeen Magazine featured our pancakes from last year on their website this holiday season.  It's a running joke that they chose to feature Brent's pancake over mine.  You might say there was a bit more of a friendly competition between the two of us when it came to making something unique and creative.  I have never seen my husband so serious in the kitchen!  It pretty much made the day for me!


Here are a few of the little scenes we came up with using snacks we had around the kitchen as well as plenty of leftover candy from my gingerbread house making party.  I am pretty reliable in making my creations file under the cute department...


While my husband on the other hand thought a little more outside of the box...


Before and after maple syrup...


And then we feasted.  Nothing like early morning sugar on top of sugar!


Hope you all had a very merry Christmas!  I am still recuperating from being sick and hope to get some cleaning and organizing done before the new year.  My husband has a little over a week off from work so no promises!  We are enjoying our lounge time and spending time with family who are visiting from out of town.  But whether early or late I will be joining in on the fun of looking back at 2012 as well as looking forward to 2013.  Be back soon!  xo

  2. LOVE LOVE LOVE! I just had my husband make us the snowman pancakes recently. We usually cheat with cookie cutters, but we make them circle and then cut them out. I like baking them IN the cookie cutter. Genius! And I love that your husband is sweet enough to be photographed for these. Mine is still not quite as enthusiastic about my photography interest... we'll get there. Hopefully.
