We Gather Together Thanksgiving Decorated Cookie Collection

View fullsize

The best part of the Thanksgiving holiday (besides the giving thanks to God part!) is gathering together with family and showing gratitude for all the things we are blessed with. I always immediately think of the hymn "We Gather Together". I have sweet memories from my childhood of Thanksgiving Day preparations with my dad and then the time for the family to gather for the day and enjoy each other (and lots of food.....of course 😳).

Here's a collection of cookies to express my heartfelt gratitude and thanks to God for all He does and that He allows me to express myself here on this blog. What a privilege it is to carry out His purposes each day of my life.

Thank you for "gathering" here on a regular basis and supporting my work and mission for Him. ❤️

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Pie Cookies are another one of my favorite shapes to create.

This time we're pretending they are filled with apples. haha

Since sugar cookie dough is similar to pie crust dough, 

it makes sense to use it to emulate a realistic pie crust.

For these cookies, I hand cut the super wide pie, and then used a

hamburger cutter, and a squished cupcake cutter to make the other two.

 Roll out a long piece of dough and place it over the crust rim of the pie.

(see photos)

 Use various tools to make crust indentations at the top of the crust and around the rim.

Once the cookies are baked and cooled, outline and flood the bottom of the cookies

to create a pie pan (in your choice of colors).

(see photo below)

 Allow the cookies to dry for approximately one hour, and then use a cake tester to make

horizontal indentations similar to found in pie stoneware.

 (see photo below)

 Allow the cookies to dry overnight.

Using a paint brush, shade the crusts with first sunflower and then caramel dusts (in dry form).
