Spring JOY Decorated Cookie Collection

Spring……what joy it brings.

Continuing on my quest of creating cookie themes promoting what is true, pure, right, lovely, & excellent (Phillipians 4:8), here is the Spring JOY collection.

It was really fun to pick out aspects of spring that bring such joy. Don’t you just love the idea of new life, flowers, growth, and gorgeous colors after the winter?

As we enter into this new season of life…..
HAPPY SPRING!
💗💜💛💚💙

 
 

Christmas Peace Decorated Cookie Collection

Yeah…..the BEST time of year to decorate cookies.

CHRISTMAS!

And even though there will be time for the more traditional colors and shapes…..for now, we’re going wild and crazy with purple and turquoise. It creates such a whimsical feel to the set, don’t ya think?

I finally got my first set of Christmas cookies done and all I can think about is the next set. Can’t wait!

🎄🎁❄️🎄⛄️

 
 

Emmy's Flower-y 1st Birthday Cookie Collection

Emmy (my second grandchild and first granddaughter) had her first birthday recently. It was a small gathering of family to celebrate, but we celebrated her in a BIG way. She's a precious sweet doll who manages to make everyone smile.

Her mom wanted a pink flower theme to celebrate her birthday. I pulled out all the stops to make the cookies as flower-y and pink as possible. 💗

I had some new tools to try out in the process, so they were fully incorporated into the design.

Both of my grandchildren haven't had refined sugar yet, so for Emmy's birthday, I modified my sugar cookie recipe and made it gluten and sugar free. The cookies turned out great!

Sadly, I attempted to make a "glaze" that was sugar free......but since sugar is the predominate ingredient (powdered sugar and corn syrup), the substitutes were no match at all. I was hugely disappointed. I ended up decorating the cookies with regular sugary glaze and left some of the cookies plain for the grandbabies. In the end, it worked. 

I'm still on a quest to find a way to decorate cookies without the sugar. I'll let you know if I ever conquer that one. 🙃

Happy Birthday my sweet Emmy Lou Who. I love you so much!!!

2016 Mothers Day Floral Decorated Cookie Collection






Oh MOM......we think you're grand!


Shower mom with lots of flowers and maybe even some gifts of service (via "coupons").
And she'll love the added bonus of sweetness in cookies.


It's time to celebrate all that MOM means to us. :)

2016 Mothers Day Decorated Cookie Collection

Mom's Decorated Cookie Coupons






Moms really enjoy gifts of time and energy from their children.
 
Why not give her "coupons" where you can fill-in-the-blank with what you want to offer Mom?

AND.....the coupon is a cookie......double the gift.  :)

The approach to making these coupon cookies is similar to cookie tags.
Here's a tutorial done back in January that shares how to make tag cookies.
(The burlap impressed cookie dough is not essential from the tutorial,
unless that's the look you'd like to achieve.)


You can pick from so many shapes and sizes and designs.



Once you've added the "vellum" effect and allowed it to dry, you can add a blank to be filled in.



Allow the gift-ers to fill-in-the-blank with a food color marker.
