CLOSING COOKIES: White Christmas at Paper Mill Playhouse

I've spent the last two months getting into the holiday spirit backstage at

Irving Berlin's White Christmas (The Musical) at Paper Mill Playhouse.

This is the largest musical I've ever been a part of, a real Broadway-scale show (it was actually a re-mount of the Broadway production), and I had an absolute blast! The show is both charming and amazing (how about an 8-minute tap number at the top of the second act!), and I loved watching from the wings each night.

This was also my first venture in Child Wrangling. I was the guardian for two ten-year-old girls who alternated the role of Susan, the General's granddaughter who whips out a show-stopping number towards the end of the show.

All in all, a GREAT experience. NOW ON TO THE COOKIES!

Nearing the holiday season, I always get excited to make Christmas cookies, so to have a Christmas show closing on Christmas Eve was just perfect!

I took inspiration from the logo above, and made my signature Christmas Gingerbread cookies (secret family recipe).

My favorite/the most difficult was the White Christmas lettering.

Then came ALL the snowflakes, BIG and small.

And then, of course, the snowglobes!

I made enough for the entire cast, crew, and band! 

It kept me up all week, but not one was left by the end of the show!

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday!

Holiday Christmas cookies coming soon!
