Old School Cookie Collection

What is it about back-to-school theme that is so very very fun?

I remember when I would go to purchase all the supplies for my kids
before we started back to homeschool each year.
It's that same kind of giddy feeling.
It must have to do with a "new beginning"......all fresh and clean.

This year seemed like a good time to take on a more vintage feel for the back-to-school cookies.
And that is how the Old School Cookie Collection was born.

Here's to an awesome year of learning!

CookieCrazie's Week in Review

_________________________________________________

Personal Side

It's been pure bliss to arrive home from the Brazil trip and settle back into my comfortable routine.

The trip was good......but I missed my alone time and glaze cookie sessions.

This week I was able to complete all my Thanksgiving cookies.

I have so many treats in store to show you this coming season......can't wait!

I know you'll be surprised (haha), but Christmas is on my list for next week. 

Actually, my goal is to have all my Christmas cookies done by the end of August.

I feel like that way I can have a few weeks to prepare for my pre-CookieCon classes,

and do a bunch of cookies for various things related to CookieCon.

It is exciting times, for sure!

So I guess it's time to turn on some Christmas music to get inspired.

I LOVE Christmas, so it is not hard to move into that holiday.....even in August. :)

Instagram photos for this week:

It's that time of year already!

Clock Cookies (Tutorial)

When I think back to the clocks we had in school (a LONG time ago!),
the above image is what comes to mind.

In my attempt to bring back "the good 'ole days", it seemed appropriate to make a clock cookie.


You'll need a medium-large circle cookie for this project.

Outline and flood the cookie with white glaze.

Using two nesting circle cutters, and a yellow food color marker,
Draw the guidelines you need to make the outer black edge of the clock.
(see photos below)

Allow the cookie to dry overnight.

Using some type of projection tool (this photo shows a Kopy Kake 1000),

make the minute marks, numbers, and center on the clock with a black food color marker.

Add the shorter hour and longer minute hands (black) and the second hand (very thin long red).

Another bit of nostalgia......found in a simple clock face.
