After they were chilled I set to baking them. Although the recipe said that I should roll them out and shape them, I was lazy and decided to treat it as a drop cookie. I did get a bit guilty over doing so and squished the cookies somewhat flat with the bottom of a cup. I needn't worry - the batter was thin enough they could have been kept in their ball shape while baking.
While the cookies were baking I set about making an icing - you can't have sugar cookies without frosting. I even went so far as to fill two icing bags fitted with two generic tips. I had picked them up in the store today just for this purpose. I dyed half of the icing green and the rest a lovely shade of purple. As I was filling the bag with the green icing I was discouraged to notice that I had not been too careful and had icing on my hand.... On closer inspection I realized that the seam of the bag was leaking icing as I was filling it. So, I was being careful - just faulty supplies. Nothing that a bit of packing tape couldn't fix - though I'm not too sure if the bag will be up for a second usage.
I had fun decorating my cookies. Jon even tried his hand at a few. I forgot to tell him to be careful about how he squeezed the icing out. He ended up handing me a bag that was oozing purple icing out of the top. Live and learn. Anyhow, here is a picture of these cookies:

Pssh... you know you liked the iceing leaking out on your finger.
I know I would... it would give me an excuse to eat it.
Oh, you bet I ate it! I even got the icing that globbed on me from when Jon squeezed the bag wrong. It was crazy good. I'm surprised I wasn't bouncing off of the walls with all of the sugar I ate.
