For the Choir

I wanted to try a new a new chocolate cookie recipe and asked the family what shape they'd like.  The husband asked that I make music note cookies so he could take them to our church choir party.  I was happy with the way the cookies "looked", but didn't love the taste...although it does seem that the cookies taste better a few days later (like fudgy brownies).  Will continue to tweak that recipe a bit before it goes on the availability list.  :-)

Back To School

Back to School Cookies ordered by a teaching intern.  I was surprised to find that I don't own an apple cookie cutter, so had to make my own pattern and cut out with a knife.  Pencils were also hand cut.  Loving the little caterpillars!  Thanks for the order Chelsea!

 

Elephant Baby Shower

These cookies were for a baby girl shower.  Love the little elephants!  There were 4 basic designs (elephant, baby bottle, zebra squares, baby face), but I also added in some cute little feet and a large "welcome baby" cookie.  I had to ship this order of 4 dozen cookies to PA.  I was SO relieved to hear that they arrived unbroken!  Whew!

Flip Flop Cookies

My daughter asked for flip flop cookies for her birthday swim party, so that's what she got!  Yes, these are the same color scheme as the baby shower cookies.  I figured that since I had icing already colored and ready to go, why not use it?  Luckily, my daughter was very happy with the colors.  :-)  My daughter really likes animal print, so I did that on several cookies.  As usual, I forgot to take pics BEFORE the cookies were bagged.  :-(  (must get better at remembering to take pics!)

Baby Boy Shower

These cookies were made for a baby shower.  The colors requested were blues/greens in whatever shapes I wanted to make.  I decided on baby bottles, onesies, and baby rattles.  I also added in a few squares with the baby's initial, as well as some tiny little feet for fillers.
