Cuter and not at all creepy Halloween cookies coming your way! Say hi to this sweet bunch of skeleton gals made from a gingerbread cutter. Everyone’s got one of these cutters laying around, which is great for the armchair cookies. Plus, the swift addition of a royal icing flower takes these cookies from “he” to “she” […]
Polar Teddy Bear Cookies: You’ve Got All Day for a Dozen Cookies, So Why Not?
I’m not going to lie to you. These cookies were a real bear. Pun intended, but for real, they took a long arse time. I nearly gave up on photographing the tutorial about halfway through as I was getting a serious case of the lazies. I didn’t though and I’m very glad for that because […]
Robot Girl Cookies
Several weeks ago Hani of Haniela’s and Mike of Semi Sweet Designs contacted me and a few other bloggers with the fabulous idea of throwing a virtual baby shower for our friend Jennifer from Not Your Momma’s Cookie. I’ve been following Jennifer’s pregnancy on her blog for the past several months and am so excited to virtually celebrate her new baby […]
Multi-tasking Your Candy Corn Cutter for Springtime Beehive Cookies
The candy corn cookie cutter gets major bonus points as an adaptable cutter. Sugarbelle has used it to make Star Wars cookies and Owl in Pumpkin cookies. Sue from Munchkin Munchies chose it for Watermelon Slice Cookies. Sweet Hope Cookies even made Angry Bird cookies. Another fun use for the candy corn cutter… Beehive Cookies! Isn’t it truly a great fit? I’ve been […]

To celebrate the arrival of their little cookie princesses, my friends Hani of Haniela’s, Mike of Semi Sweet, and […]
Mr. & Ms. Shamrock Cookies for St. Patrick’s Day
While I cringe at many of the cookies from my early decorating days, two years ago for St. Patrick’s Day I made sparkly shamrock cookies and St. Patty’s Day Cupcake Cookies, which I still love to pieces! Last year, I was a bit lazy and decided to ride on the coattails of my awesome cookie friends’ creations, but this year, […]
Raindrop Cookies for April Showers and Baby Showers
It’s raining babies these days and no better way to celebrate a baby shower than with rosy-cheeked, smiley-faced raindrop cookies! These cheerful cookies fit in with just about any baby shower given that “showers of love” is a universally sweet […]
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 […]
