Hump Day!

Elder Landon Carroll has officially been on his mission for exactly one year!!!!  Now that's cause for celebration.  It's hump day!  I decided to make and send Landon some camel cookies on honor of Landon's hump day.  I seriously am not a fan of making sugar cookies as some of you may already know.  I think they are a whole lot of work for very little pay off.  As a matter of fact I think I wrote a blog post about it a few years back.  You can click and read about it here if you need further enlightenment.  Anyway...back to the cookie adventure...

I borrowed my friends' camel cookie cutter and began the long, tedious process of creating these little treats.  It was going to be worth all the effort because they were going to my missionary, someone who I admire and respect.  He deserves the best.  I made a few calls to my sister, Janelle along the way for help because she evidently IS a sugar cookie making expert and many people have claimed that she makes the best sugar cookies in the business.  I used a special Royal icing to glaze the tops of the camel cookies and even put the frosting in special squirt frosting bottles to help in the process.  Who knew they had such specialized tools for this nonsense. Of course I found that information on Pinterest and it was helpful in getting the professional results that you see in the picture above.  When all was said and done....the cookies turned out great!  Stephen and Easton thought they tasted awesome so they must have been good.  Well....I must close this little write up and head off to the post office.  I have some camel cookies to send to an awesome missionary serving in North Carolina!
