Not to push the season, but... just BEAR with us...
Let's start with our new Polar Bear Cookies Mesh Stencil Set. This adorable cookie cutter and mesh stencil set is not just adorable and fun to use, but it apparently has power over weather patterns 'cause the morning after we made these bad boys, we woke up to a whole day's worth of the white stuff. You've been warned.
We love these big lugs! The set includes the cookie cutter, two "Let it Snow" mesh stencils and one scarf pattern mesh stencil. So, with one swipe of royal icing, you can make 5 bear scarves! We used fondant for the scarves, which can be tinted any color with any food coloring. How's that for easy? But of course, we've got video proof:
Matter of fact, it was Aunt Martha and Aunt Kitty who decided to steal cousin Rachel's stenciled fondant before she could cut it into strips, to make their bear an ugly Christmas sweater!
Any of you from Texas, be warned...those two are headed back down there, and they're gonna be putting fondant sweaters on any cookie within their reach.
Don't forget to pick up a bag of our Mesh Stencil Royal Icing Mix to be able to stencil white over colored backgrounds, and keep your other colors solid and vibrant. Wanna see why? Watch HERE

Many of you have asked how the ECG gets her sugar cookies to bake so perfectly smooth and flat. Did she meet the Devil at a Crossroads and decide that she wasn't cut out to be a blues guitar player, so instead, she'd get the secret recipe for perfect cookies every time? Damn, that would be cool! But instead, she happens to have married into a family with that very recipe! Not sure exactly where, or how Grandma Harriett (our bear sweater geniuses Mom) acquired this recipe, best not to ask. Rather...enjoy!

So now you've got some secret weapons for this year's cookie season. Or DO YOU? Check out the ECG's Favorite Cookie Baking tools below:
