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 […]
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, […]
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

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 […]
