Home on the Range

Probably the most appropriate cookies on the entire blog seeing as they celebrate Kansas.  While I usually only decorate with frosting, I added a special extra to the sunflowers.  I put chocolate sprinkles in the center for more texture and a new flavor!

A 17 Year Old's Favorite Things

My friend Kim and I made these to help our friend Michelle's son celebrate his birthday.

Sweet Summertime

I made these cookies as end-of-the-year gifts for my daughter to hand out at work.  They were perfect as we got ready for summer!

Luck of the Irish

I handed these cookies out for St. Patrick's Day this year.  Hopefully they brought some good luck!

Happy Easter!

These bunnies and carrots were for Easter dinner.  Fun fact: cookies decorated like carrots are often more popular than actual carrots.

Memorial Day

These simple cookies were made for Memorial Day.  In patriotic colors, they were a nice touch to our Memorial Day celebrations!

Let It Snow!

Even though these were some of the only snowflakes we saw this winter, they were very popular and much sweeter than the real stuff.

Merry Christmas!

These cookies were perfect for Christmas gatherings.

Thanksgiving Turkeys

I shared these turkeys at our Thanksgiving dinner.  They're joined by some chocolate acorns.

Strawberries

I made the strawberries as a celebration of spring.  They were a perfect size snack- much smaller than the usual cookies!

Bluebirds

I made these bluebirds for a co-worker's work anniversary.  It was 25 years at Stormont-Vail!

Be Mine

Sweet treats for one of the sweetest holidays!  For this batch I incorporated a few chocolate cookies to add variety.

Back to School

I made these cookies for a friend to give to summer school teachers.

Halloween

The scariest part about the Halloween cookies was the effect the black frosting left on your mouth after eating one!

Sweet Enough for a Princess

I made these cookies special for a princess' birthday!

Marigolds

I made these cookies for Memorial Day.  Each cookie has multiple layers of frosting to give the petal effect!

Labra-cookie

This one's in honor of guess who?  My sweet labrador Paisley.  Unfortunately, these cookies were made for humans and not doggies, so she wasn't able to partake in the sweet treats.

Baby Shower Cookies

These cookies were made for my niece's baby shower for their new daughter.

Girls' Night Out

These cookies were made for a girls' night out this summer.  I loved the fun and summery colors!

Ice Cream or Cookies?

These were for a friend's birthday and combine two great treats- ice cream AND cookies!

Rock Chalk Jayhawk!

Both of my kids graduated from the University of Kansas and I made these cookies for my daughter's graduation in May.  The Beak 'Em Hawk was made using a flood transfer.  Rock Chalk!

Daisies

I always publish my cookie pictures to Facebook to share with friends and family.  My aunt Meg, who is two states away, sees them and wishes she was able to try some.  So this spring I sent her this fresh batch of daisies!

Fourth of July

I made these cookies for a Fourth of July celebration with family.  The stripes are decorated with disco dust for a special touch!

ABCs and 123s

My daughter worked at a child development center and I made these cookies for a function there.  The ABCs and 123s are separate cookies adhered to the base cookies with frosting for a 3-dimensional effect.

Paisley.

She's never met a cookie she didn't like. 

She was also the inspiration for the labrador cookie.  Here she is tuckered out after a long day of baking.
