Santa Cookies

I wanted to make Santa cookies using the same style of hats I've been using on my snowmen.

I'd been looking at my 8/snowman cutter and cookies, formulating a plan. But he needed feet.

Thanks to a lot of inspiration from posts around the cookie blog world about piecing together parts from more than one cookie cutter, I looked at this fish...

And found feet!

Santa is ready to bake.

HO, HO, HO! Merry Christmas!

Chocolate Stars

Last year I made these Chocolate Trees.

This year I made Chocolate Stars with Sprinkles.

And Mini Chocolate Stars.

Christmas Fish Cookies

Nina's Cookie Shop recently made these cookies for a holiday party/birthday party. The birthday boy loves to fish!

Presents, 

And a wreath accompanied the fish for the party. This wreath is a simplified version of my first proposed design. I like this one a lot!

The party guests were treated to little bundles of cookies to take home.

Happy Birthday, Royce!

Snowman Cookies

I have a couple of snowman cookie cutters but was looking for a simple one.

 When I saw this cookie cutter in the store I thought it was perfect! It was hanging on the wall and I looked around it to see what other holiday cookie cutters there were. Instead of seeing cookie cutters in the shapes of snowflakes and Christmas trees, I saw the numbers 7 and 9. Oh, it's the number 8! But still a perfect snowman for what I wanted to do!

I love making variations. I like the one with both the hat and scarf best.

This one has a different hat and it looks like he might have a tummy ache!

I didn't intend for this one's mittens to be giving the thumbs up sign, but I'm glad he likes how I made him!

Welcome Baby Cookies

Our very good friends, Karis & Jeff, just had a baby girl.

Time to celebrate with pink ducky and monogram cookies!

Welcome, Baby Isabel.

Congratulations Karis & Jeff and big brothers Peyton & Liam.

We can't wait to meet the new member of your family!

Firetruck Birthday Ts & Cookies

Liam and Peyton just had their 3rd birthday!

The boys are fascinated by firefighters and had their birthday party at a fire station. We couldn't make it to the party, but I made and sent presents. 

Cookies, of course!

 And t-shirts!

Last year I made them personalized Elmo and Cookie Monster t-shirts. I liked the results so much (and am thrilled by how much wear the boys get out of them!) that I did it again this year.

Happy Birthday, Liam & Peyton!
