It's Cookie Time!

I decided to make a little present to thank Alex's parents for helping us get our awesome new oven. But what to make?! After much deliberation, I decided on Union Jack cookies! They're the perfect way to thank Alex's lovely British parents - I get to show off how well the oven works, decorate cookies (something I LOVE to do) and give them a bit of patriotic cheer. They turned out pretty good, I think. I could have made the icing a bit cleaner, but I wasn't using my good pastry tips. :)
