Rolling out sugar cookies can be fun and simple, but as I mentioned in my Classic Sugar Cookies post, when I first started making sugar cookies, I had trouble rolling out the dough just right. Some cookies were thinner than others. I had a mess of flour all over the kitchen, yet rarely enough on my […]
Classic Sugar Cookies Recipe
I’ve tinkered with many sugar cookie recipes to find my own variation that never fails to produce tasty, beautiful cookies. I used to think sugar cookies tasted blah. All looks and no yum. Judging from the number of sugar cookie posts on my blog, you can see that I’ve since flip-flopped. I just needed to steer […]
Wedding Cake Cookies for Justine
My fabulous friend and former Southern Californian, Justine, is getting married this May in New York. Since Quinn came onto the scene, long distance trips aren’t as manageable (read: an anxiety-ridden fiasco), so we’ll sadly have to miss the celebration. Thankfully though, Justine flew back to Cali for a quick trip last weekend and we […]
Mrs. Claus Cookie
Did you catch the title of this post? It’s for real ya’ll… Callye, a.k.a. Sugarbelle, or as she’s known in my house “the cookie queen”, asked me to guest post on her blog and I feel like my favorite singer just pulled me on stage to sing with her! “I’m so excited! I’m so excited! I’m so… scared!” Jessie Spano, anyone? Saved […]
Sparkly Heart Sugar Cookies
Two cookie favors per guest is always better than one, yes? In addition to wedding cake sugar cookies, I made sparkly heart sugar cookies to match for my friend Justine’s bridal brunch. These hearts use the same purple color from the wedding cake cookies as well as a sprinkle of sanding sugar to add a little glitz […]
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. […]
