Snow Globe Cookies!

 

My oldest child loves snow globes so this year for Christmas we decided to try some snow globe cookies! I love the way that they turned out!

 

 

 

Santa Bells

 

HO HO HO!!!!

 

Instead of the traditional Santa Clause I decided to try this cute variation of a Santa suit shaped like a bell. I think that they are pretty cute! Its always fun to try new and different Christmas cookies!

These ornament cookies were the perfect addition to my Christmas assortment. After the frosting was dry I sprayed them with edible gold spray so they were even shiny!

I love love love these cute little cookies!  They are sort of a cross between Santa and a gnome.  They are my new favorite and a big hit this year!

More Christmas Cookies!

 

Here are a few more of the regular size Christmas cookies that I will be including this year.  The cardinals have been a frequent request and they remind me of my late Grandmother as they were her favorite bird!  Love these!

 

 

 

Snowflake Cookies

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

These snowflake cookies were SOOOO much fun to make!  I have always made a few at Christmas, but I saw this idea on pinterest with snowflakes of several shapes and sizes arranged into a wreath.  Love it! Each one is a little different!

Christmas Tree Cookies

It's Winter!

On the front of a Good Housekeeping magazine I saw this very cute idea for making tree cookies and arranging them like a tree so I decided to try it.  I love the idea of so many cookies of the same shape with all different decor.  It would make a great display at a Christmas Party!  I just might have them at our Christmas celebration!  

Despicable Me Cookies

Minions! Minions! Minions!

I have yet to see the "Despicable Me" movie, but just making these cookies of the minion characters from it, certainly make me want to. :) They were so much fun to do!!!!! Because they are all just a little different the possibilities are endless.  

Thanks to my nephew for asking me to try making them in the first place!  They have been a huge hit!

Halloween Cookies

Happy Halloween!

I had a really fun order from a Grandmother who wanted cookies for each of her grandchildren that replicated what they were dressing as for Halloween. Each small bouquet had a happy pumpkin :) and 2 robots, ladybugs, Dora the Explorers, Penguins, Footballs, etc.  What a great Grandma!  I hope that they all enjoyed them!

Cars Cookies

A Cars 3rd Birthday!

I had the opportunity recently to make my first attempt at Cars cookies for a little boys birthday party.  The actual Cars cookie cutters that they make aren't all that impressive, so I decided to try just freehanding the characters on very basic shapes.  I think that George enjoyed them!

Valentine's Day Cookies

Happy Valentine's Day!

These are some of the cookies that I am making for Valentine's Day this year.  I just started trying some lacework with my royal icing and I really liked the way it turned out.  It takes quite a bit longer but the detail is pretty awesome when they are finished. My son says that his favorite are the "girly ones". Me too!

Who needs flowers when you can have cookies?!
