I want to put an exclamation point after all of my post titles, but it seems a bit much. I’m afraid you might think I just put it there reflexively. I mean, could a person possibly be that excited over each and every one of these cookies? Honestly, YES!!! Okay, I’m calming down now. As has been the […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
