This year for Mother’s Day, Ben made a lovely breakfast for Quinn and me, but sadly had to spend the rest of the day working on the landscaping. We’ve been remodeling our house for three years and we’re so dying to be done (and we nearly are, hallelujah!), so I was 100 percent okay with […]
Simple Cookie Designs: Holiday Happiness in a Cocoa Mug Cookie
I’ve been dying to recreate Sue’s adorably cute cocoa mug cookies since I first discovered them last spring. I love love love ’em! Don’t they just radiate holiday happiness, warmth, and all things snuggly? I’d say these cookies help balance out the girl-a-palooza that is the hot pink snowflake cookie design. That said, the mug cookies still seem a […]
Leggo My Eggo! The Weirdest Sugar Cookies Ever
So you may have noticed that I’ve been missing-in-action on the blog for way too long. I’ve been fighting this mini-sabbatical every step of the way, trying to muster up the energy for cookie-ing, but I just couldn’t make it happen. You see, a few months ago, one of these guys won the big race… […]
Elf Girl Cookies from a Snowman Cutter
I have two little girls ages 6 months and 3 years and the other day, it struck me that Christmas is pretty much devoid of female characters. Sure, we have Mrs. Claus, but she’s primarily defined by her relationship to the big guy. By the way, I have a strong suspicion that Mrs. C is one […]
Simple Cookie Designs: Snowy and Sprinkle-y Christmas Tree Cookies
I ’m rounding out my series of simple cookie designs, with these cheery and colorful Christmas tree cookies. While my snowflake cookies and coffee mug cookies veer away from the usual holiday color palette, these cookies add a dose of traditional Christmas green to the mix. I wanted my Christmas trees to have snow-lined branches and pops of color […]
Simple Cookie Designs: A Very Girlie Christmas
Now that the news is out, ya’ll know why I’m trying to keep things simple these days. I’ve got a few new cookies coming your way and each of them uses only two colors of frosting, but still makes for a fun and festive presentation. Two colors is so easy to manage. Less icing bags. Less bottles. […]
Big-Headed Snowmen Cookies
They might have big heads, but these snowmen sweeties are far from bigheaded! They’re quite humble, in fact. First off, props to the lovely LilaLoa for enlightening me and the rest of the cookie world about the inherent cuteness of large-headed creatures. Her big head duck cookies are a perfect example of this and are majorly adorable! Applying […]
Winter Snow Cloud Cookies
Oh, the weather outside is frightful! Well, I live in San Diego, so it’s actually 70 degrees and sunny, but it’s snowing elsewhere, so we’ll just pretend. Whoosh!! Grab your mittens because there’s one big gust of wind coming from this cold weather cookie! Silvery, sprinkle-y, simple, and sweet, these cookies use only two colors making […]
Silly Chilly Polar Bear Cookies for Any Cookie Cutter
When I think of Christmas, I think about gray clouds, snowmen, dark evenings, sparkly snowflakes, and woodsy-smelling pine trees. I also think about polar bears because they make for many cute cookie designs, including these polar bear buddies that got caught in a snowstorm. They have scarves though so they don’t mind. This cookie design rocks for two reasons. […]
