As part of my passion for cookies and treats, I read several fantabulous blogs that inspire many of my baking adventures. For those of you interested in branching out blog-wise and seeing how the pro’s do it, these ladies will rock your world (and make my cookies look like amateur hour). If by some chance, […]
Basic Cookie Cutter Shapes: A Rectangular Frankenstein for Halloween!
I originally wanted to make scary Frankenstein cookies. A little something different in the world of cute cookies, but when it came time to pipe on Frankenstein’s face, I just couldn’t resist a cutesy smile. I think cute is simply more “me” than scary. Well, at least I hope so! Plus, it shows Frankie’s lovable […]
Sprinkle-y Pink Easter Bunny Cookies
A couple years back right before Easter, I picked up the most adorable pastel-colored nonpareils at Target. With a few shades of pink, pale blue, and white, this nonpareil mix is super dreamy and great for springtime cookies! I first used these sprinkles on this set of bunny cookies and have been itching to re-make and revise […]
Summer Lovin’ Beachy Heart Cookies!
Ya’ll may remember the Sand Castle Cookies cookies I posted back on my due date. Well, I loved them so much and wanted to make an accompanying cookie that had all the same pretty beach elements, but with a more grown-up look. Something that could work for a destination or beach wedding, a summer bridal shower, or a […]
Fancy Fleur-de-Lis Cookies
I love baking all kinds of cookies, but I’m sure its no surprise to ya’ll that the blank canvas of a sugar cookie makes my heart sing. It’s truly a cookie for every occasion, just waiting to be customized in a way that makes their recipient smile. For my aunt’s birthday, I wanted her cookies […]

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 […]
