missy-
The Christmas tree cookies are the exact ones my mother used to make each year of her life. Only she made some in that color and some in green. I believe she sometimes made some in pink, too, but most of the time the trees were either green or white with red sprinkles. The camels were white. I cannot recall all the other shapes. But she obviously had the same cookie press as your husband! I wonder if he is using the same recipe she did, one that came with the press!
I can't say I am sorry for the threadjack.; this thread hardly seems serious enough to warrant strict adherence to the topic! On the original topic I will say, however, that some of you seem to me not to be very naughty when you eat and drink. If all I did was to imbibe a chemical (for example by having a diet Coke) or some sugar without fat (maybe some jelly beans) or some fat without sugar (maybe some butter on a crumpet), I'd feel positively virtuous! I can manage to mix fats, sugars, and chemicals and in huge quantities. I can also be sure to include high fructose corn syrup and hydrogenated oils. Not that I want to, mind you, but as I sit here reading all these venial eating sins, I feel like the food devil!!!

They are the perfect combo of salty sweet. And I don't even like salty sweet things! Once I have one I can't stop myself.

Google images had some camels (I believe they are actually dromedaries) just like the ones my mother used to make. They also had images of many cookie presses. I should have realized how many there would, now, be. Most are now plastic, lightweight, and see-through (dare I use the word "transparent" in a non-political context?). My mother's cookie press, from the 1940's or early 1950's, was metal and sturdy. The cookies she could make varied a bit from some of the current ones.

What naughty thing do you eat or drink that you KNOW you shouldn't?
Right now, for me, it's Naughty Costco's Kirkland Panko breaded shrimp.
TDF!

When I get a low sugar count opportunity, I splurge on fresh squeezed orange juice, almond or hazelnut gelato, maybe a gluten free cookie, maybe half a Shipleys butterfly cinnamon roll, a really fresh non-wheat dinner roll, OR (because I can only choose one naughty food when cheating) toffee. Diabetes sucks.
