Easter Bonnets

IMG_7684

I’ll just call them Cookie Hats since Easter is now over. I made these this weekend but you can certainly do them for other occasions like Mothers Day. Showers, too. You can change the colors for different themes. Any Red Hat Society peeps out there? These would be fun. I can also see these for a Kentucky Derby party – you could get really creative with them. Or forget the flowers, paint them with silver luster dust and turn them into flying saucers.

I found the instructions for these cuties in a book called Cookie Swap.

Here’s what they are supposed to look like. Gorgeous, huh! These are made using royal icing to coat the hat and pipe the perfect little dots. Fondant is used for the flowers and the bands.

Now, I didn’t have extra hours to wait for royal icing to dry when I made these, so I improvised. But, if time weren’t an issue, I’d go royal.

IMG_7691

Instead, I covered the sugar cookie hats in tinted and rolled fondant…

IMG_7654

And used sugar pearls to add detail. To help them stay in place, I used the pearls to press indentations around the hat. Then, I put a tiny amount of water on the sugar pearl and placed it in position.

IMG_7702

Here they are with and without the pearls.

The base of the sugar cookie hats should be rolled thin before baking and the top part of the hat should be thicker to accommodate the fondant band. I used the shortbread sugar cookie recipe in the book, but feel free to use your own recipe and decorate.

Note: To get the fondant and cookie shapes to match in size, I re-cut the cookies with the cutter when I took them out of the oven and while they were still warm because they had spread a little.

You can attach the fondant to the cookies with a little bit of icing and you can attach the fondant flowers with a little dab of water.

Fondant Flowers.

All I can say is I heart my flower blossom plunger cutter. Say that fast three times.

IMG_7657

I bought it a while ago and this is the first time I’ve used it.

IMG_7660

You can cut shapes out of fondant and by pressing down on the plunger, you can make center indentations… or not.

You can also press the plunger into the fondant and remove the flower shape to then press and release onto a sponge.

This will give the flowers a curved shape.

But, without a sponge handy I had to improvise again.

So I grabbed the paper towel roll nearby and laid it on its side.

IMG_7662

See how they curve when you press them into a soft surface and release? If you wanted, you could also add sugar pearls to the centers or pipe with icing.

IMG_7723

These were fun to use. Now I need to get my hands on a little leaf plunger cutter to round out the look.

IMG_7703

IMG_7748

Cookie Swap is full of recipes, decorating and displaying ideas.

Like these….

IMG_7740

Yes, this is a cookie. A ridiculously beautiful cookie. Seriously, who does that? Amazing!

IMG_7741

And these are in the book, too. Love them! Looooooove them. But, I’d have to find someone to pipe those dots on for me. Mine would never look that perfect.

In addition to really pretty sweets, the book also has cute cookies to make you swoon.

IMG_7743

Like these hamburger and hotdog shaped macarons. Dying.

IMG_7744

And these watermelon cookies. Oh and umm, the lemons? Those are cookies, too. I know. Craziness.

  1. These are so darn cute! I’m an adventurous cookie maker/eater…. : )

  2. If I don’t win the book, I’m sure I’ll have to go buy it! I want to MAKE those cookies….and eat them. :)

  3. I dream of being adventurous, but mostly I’m drop and bake!

  4. I am definitely adventurous with my cookie making! They might not always turn out the way I planned them, but it’s still fun trying!! ;)

  5. I’m normally the taste tester, my husband is the baker in this house, although I am starting to get a little more creative myself.

  6. I am an adventurous cookie maker. I would love to win this book.

  7. Hmmm, I wouldn’t say I’m an adventurous cooker baker…. I’m a decent cook but I’ve had a fair few baking mishaps, so I’m a little hesitant when it comes to baking. I need to break out of that!

  8. I don’t think I’d call myself adventurous when it comes to cookie making, but I would definately say that I’m a taste tester (usually before the cookies make it to the oven!) These bonnet cookies look so cute!

  9. Definitely a baker, I’m planning a baby shower for my sister-in-law this summer so I’ll be making lots of goodies for that.

  10. I’m one to just taste the cookies, just don’t have the patience for all the details… but would love to learn how to do just a couple cute cookies, just to say that I can do it :)

  11. Those cookies are adorable! I love trying new designs and recipes! Taste testing isn’t so bad either! :D

  12. LOVE the book and your cookies. I am an adventurer, be it cookies, cupcakes, cakes or pops. Can’t wait for your book either!

  13. I would love to have this book! My daughter’s birthday is next month, and I bet I would find some really cute ideas in there!
    Thanks so much for all the great ideas that you post :o)

  14. I love to decorate cookies & equally tasting them. This book looks Fabulous!

  15. wow is all I can say, the pictures from the book are unbelievable and yours look great, don’t ever cut yourself short!

  16. this book looks amazing! i’m just starting out in baking and love to decorate – even though i know i have a LONG way to go. when it comes to eating desserts though i’m really only a cake girl. i have so much fun baking cookies and pies, but unless it’s cake – after a few bites i’m usually finished. probably will be good for me in the long run if i spend too much time in the kitchen though : )

  17. i’m pretty boring when it comes to my cookies right now..they taste good but i’m not so focused on decorating!

  18. Well, I would say I’m a cookie maker. Adventurous though? I’m almost a pro at the ones that you can buy in the roll! I envy your talent for making things look just like they do in the books, I need to learn how to do that!

  19. Definitely adventurous and the best part is taste testing my creations! :-)

  20. You are just amazing!!! I wish I could do this …..sigh…..

  21. adventurous baker but also a taster :)

  22. Definitely an adventurous cookie maker!

  23. I LOVE to decorate sugar cookies! I perfected my recipe a few years ago, and I haven’t looked back since! Knowing I have a great base recipe means that I can concentrate on the aesthetics of the cookies…and the great thing about a sugar cookie recipe is that you can add flavoring to change up the cookie a bit. Love that book…it looks right up my alley!

  24. I always have to taste test. But I like to be adventurous as well! I love the bonnets, they are so beautiful!

  25. yum..yum….
    I love to make cookies…
    your Easter bonnet are so adorable!
    LOVE IT!
    I would love to have this book..

  26. What lovely, yummy looking treats!

    I hope to win the book!

  27. Can I be both?? I am actually a very adventurous cook, un-cooker, and baker. :) I love to experiment and I love to be creative! And I really really would love this book!

    Thanks for hosting the giveaway!

  28. I have to say adventurous baker! Those cookies came out great!

  29. Content taster; I seem to eat a few too many if I make an entire batch myself.

  30. would love to win!

  31. Adventerous is perfect. All my cooking baking activities are an adventure….

  32. Content taster. I wish I were adventurous, alas I can only make drop cookies.

  33. I would love to become a adventerous cookie maker, but haven’t found the time to devote it to making cookies look pretty. I’d luv to, and I’ve seen this book before so if I win it, it will push me to find the time. The hats look lovely and I love the hot dogs for bbq days!!!

  34. I would LOVE to add this book to my collection! I’m currently baking my way through ‘Hello Cupcake’.

  35. Definitely an adventurous cookie maker. My kids are 2 and 5 and we are always changing up cookie recipes.

  36. Both…but I would love to try some of those cute recipes!!

  37. I am all about the adventure. Cookie decorating is my trade and also my joy!

  38. Adventurous baker! So much so that I’m going to turn my junior high art class loose with cookies, fondant, cake balls, chocolate and whatever else I can find. Edible art should ‘engage’ their interest. :)

  39. I´m just starting with cookies, I´m more and adventurous cookie maker.
    I´d love to win a copy!! This book is on my wish list of amazon!

  40. I’m an adventurous cookie maker… but if they look sketchy I make someone else be the adventurous cookie eater.

  41. I’m a taster who is working on my cookie making. I’m so happy you’re feeling better.

  42. I am an adventurous cookie maker! I love to do interesting things with cookie dough–like anatomically correct gingerbread men and women! And meticulously decorated Christmas sugar cookies. So much fun!

  43. I love experimenting and taste testing! I don’t have the patience that you have for creating, though. Wish I did!

  44. Those cookies are fabulous! I’d love to be more adventurous when it comes to making cookies, but I just can’t seem to find the time these days. I usually go with my old stand-by of chocolate chip cookies. I’d love to win this book though!

  45. I’m definitely both! I’m just learning to decorate and am having the time of my life. It’s a great way to start something “new” after 50!

  46. I am definitely an adventurous baker…thanks to you and all your inspirations!!!

  47. The book looks WoNdErFuL!!! I would love to be able to bake cookies like these. I have 3 granddaughter”s who also love to bake with Grandma. This book would be awesome to have. I’m thinking Birthday cookies instead of cake. Please enter me for a chance to win!!!

  48. I love books like that! I always think that I can make those kind of cookies but mine are never quite right. Oh well. ^_^

  49. Oh my goodness! I would love to have this cookbook to create all sorts of sugary goodies. I love baking cookies and would die for this book!

  50. the hats are perfect for mothers day, plan on making these and the lemon slices!

  51. Unfortunately, I’m not an adventurous cookie baker, but that’s due more to lack of time/effort/practise (The Hubs isn’t a cookie fan) than not wanting to!

    If said (gorgeous) book were to be mine, I’d certainly use it as an excuse to be more adventurous in my cookie endeavours and just donate the results like I do with my cupcake/cake ball endeavours!

    (I must say; I only stumbled upon your blog late last week and I am already so enamoured! Thank you, Bakerella!)

  52. I have just recently become “adventurous” with cookies as I just started using royal icing. It’s not as hard as I thought it would be, but it is time consuming and I need to practice practice practice my piping! Hope you had a wonderful Easter.

  53. I want to learn more about making beautiful things, and I would love to start with this book!

  54. Love to bake and eat! I’m the only one in my family who likes to bake and decorate sugar cookies for the holidays. They know that I am always bringing them to the party!

  55. I’m trying to be more adventurist!

  56. i love baking cookies and eating them, my favourite cookies have to be peanut butter! mmm i just found a recipe recently and i’ve mastered the chewy/crispy combo texture!

  57. I am an aspiring adventurous cookie maker! :)

  58. I am a cookie taster from way back!! But with great ideas, I would love to bake fun cookies!

  59. Love making them and watching the reaction when people eat them

  60. I have the flower press and used it to decorate my own wedding cake :) and I think I am more of an aspiring “baker” I love making things and trying new thigns out! -thanks

  61. I LOVE that book! I would be in heaven making all those cookies, trying to find reasons to make them even! I.LOVE.IT!

  62. I’m a cookie maker! I love baking new things to try out.

  63. So cute! What fun we could have.

  64. Cookies are my kryptonite.

  65. I’m a little of both – but usually I’m content to make the old stand-by, chocolate chips! YUM.

  66. I am an adventurous cookie maker. I love finding new designs and excuses to try them out.

  67. To die for! So lovely!!!

  68. This Christmas, my first as a stay at home mom, I went WAY overboard making many varieties of cookies. My family was cookied out for a while!

  69. I am an adventurous baker but will never say no to being a cookie tester…

  70. Oh my, oh my goodness! I have NEVER seen cuter cookies than these! Although I would have to say that I would usually be a content taster, with that book in my hands I would be a crazy creator and make as many adventurous cookies as possible! I LOVE those watermelon and lemon cookies! Amazing!

  71. WOW! You have so much patience! They are beautiful!

  72. I am definately an adventurous cookie baker! Love making new cookies!

  73. I def a taste tester…but wouldn’t mind being a little more of an adventurous baker!

  74. I am definately game for adventure! Love to try new recipes!

  75. I love looking at stuff like this, but making it scares me. Maybe the cookbook would help…

  76. Great post! love to bake cookies, just not quite this adventurous yet! hopefully one day though :)

  77. i would love to be adventurous-i have a folderful of your recipes and others that i want to try-have some bdays and showers coming up-so hopefully i can get to baking asap!

    oh-and the tasting part-well that just falls under “quality control”-i don’t want to serve an untasty treat-so gotta take a few “samples” of the batter/dough every once in awhile :)

  78. I would love to say I am an adventurous cookie maker, but in reality I fall in to the category of “dismal cookie maker-content cookie taster” but as they say, “practice makes perfect.” I haven’t given up yet! :)

  79. I’m both! But mostly cookie maker – I can’t have sweets in the house or else I’ll eat THEM ALL.

  80. I’m definitely an adventurous cookie maker, when I have time. The trouble is I always want to try new techniques without taking time to perfect the last one I tried. ^_^ So I never have anything that looks really perfect or portfolio worthy. Oh well, I still have fun with it.

  81. Adventurous all the way! I’m dying to make those hamburger and hot dog cookies for my 5 year old. He would love those!

  82. I love those… so cute!! If I had seen them before Easter the family would have had some cute cookies to munch on. (Although I would say they weren’t too disappointed in the pina colada easter cake they did enjoy :) )

  83. I love to decorate cookies….the best part is seeing other people so happy!!!

  84. I love trying fun cookie recipies. My kids love to take fun treats to school. This book looks awesome!

  85. From a self-described obsessive cookie baker/eater, I have to say those are adorable! Those hats would be darling for a derby party! (and mother’s day, but definitely a derby party) I also love the butterfly cookies on the front cover of the book, and the picnic cookies, too cute! I’d love to attempt those for a summer picnic!

  86. I love to make cookies, but they never come out looking that good. I keep trying though. thanks!

  87. for some reason, cookies intimidate the heck outta me! so i’m definitely a taste tester!

  88. I am most definitely up for an adventure! I just decorated some for Easter…..maybe a little too fancy. But I do like the tried and true cookie recipes also. Those will actually get eaten. :)

  89. I would so love this book! I love to get creative with my baking…as if you aren’t inspiration enough hehe! Crossin my fingers!

  90. Taste tester! I love to bake but I do not have the patience to decorate.

  91. I’m dying inside. Being the adventurous cookie maker, I need to try some out ASAP!

  92. Right now I’m probably a non-adventurous cookie maker… but I’m working on it!

  93. I would have to say tat I am a very adventurous baker. I did some cookies similar to this about 15 years ago….After I saw what Williams-Sonoma wanted for 1 cookie (approx $8-$10 each) I decided that I could do as good if not better. (I am stubborn that way.) Great Job, Bakerella. Hope you are feeling well. You are a blessing!

  94. I love adventurous baking of all sorts – not just cookies. I’ve turned out quite a few disasters, but I’ve made some good discoveries, too.

  95. well, i’m a content taste tester right now, but i would love nothing more than to learn to make such beautiful cookies! love!

  96. Adventurous!!! Love the blog and the book looks like fun. The hamburger and hot dog cookies would be great for a 4th of July BBQ :)

  97. I would say that I’m more of a taste tester! I love these cookies, so adorable!

  98. I just started to make cookies with my 2 year old daughter, winning this book will be awesome, so we can try to do new things.

  99. Hello Bakerella!! Sounds like some of your energy is back…great to hear. I am a cookie baker, cupcake baker, pie baker…you name it and I have probably tried it. I might not have had a success but I have tried. I even made 50 of those stacked cookie wedding cakes for my girlfriend’s Mom and Dad’s 50th Wedding Anniversary. They looked great but the Royal Icing made them more of an ornament than an edible :) !! I have looked at the book and debated whether or not I need to add it to my shelf…hope I win!!

  100. Those easter bonnets are too precious to eat! xD I wonder how you managed?

    I love trying new things, so im definetly an adventurous cookie maker :)

  101. I’m not a very adventurous baker, but this book could inspire me to be more creative and daring.

  102. PS – that would make me a cookie making adventurer!

  103. Those are soooo cute!! I always get so inspired by your website!!

  104. I am an adventurous cookie makes. I love looking at your post and seeing all your cute ideas! they are inspiring!! Thank you for posting!

  105. I love to bake. I wouldn’t say that I’m super adventurous, but I do like to make pretty/cute desserts, which is why I love your blog.

    Forced to choose between the two, though, I definitely have a sweet tooth –> content taste tester.

  106. Oh I love tasting cookies…but I’d love to try to make some of these gorgeous creations!

  107. If I had the time, I would be an adventurous cookie maker. Also, if I had as awesome as a book like Cookie Swap. :)

  108. I”m a cookie baker but I”m not sure I’d call myself adventurous. My kitchen’s and oven is too small for that.

    Love your site!

  109. I’m a BETTER taster than creator– I’ll just leave it at that. :P

  110. How about this . . . I WANT to be an adventure baker . . . but my stuff never turns out looking pretty. So I AM a content taste tester . . . I’m EXTREMELY good at that! :) Thanks for the give-away.

  111. So beautiful just to look at. You are so inspiring but I think I would cry if anyone ate one.

  112. right now- a content taste tester

  113. Oh my goodness — I am an adventurous cookie baker, but these take the cake… I mean cookie. Gorgeous! I am in love with your hats — and I can definitely see them in my future! Thanks for sharing this amazingness!

  114. Definately an adventurous cookie maker – my sister is the taste tester :D

  115. I love all kinds of cookies!

  116. Those cookies look great! They are so pretty I couldn’t eat them

  117. I have been eyeing this book forever!!! I want it, I want it, I want it!!! I love making cookies, but have a hard time coming up with new ideas, so cookie books are my fav!

  118. Adorable!
    Where did you get your flower plunger? I’ve been looking for one for a while.

  119. I would love the chance to win this book. I didn’t want to do cookies when I started, but fell in love with fondant covered sugar cookies, and make a lot of 3D cookie “cards” for the holidays. You can see these by following the website to the FB page. I love everything you do too, Bakerella. You guys are so awesome! I hope I win the book so that I can take the ideas from it and move forward with my own ideas from them of course, using fondant! Anyway – you can see my cookies by going to TopThatCakery.com and following the links to FB if you are a FB user.

  120. Both! :)

  121. I would say I’m a content taste tester! Having a newborn doesn’t give me the chance to experiment right now.

  122. I just have to have that book! All of the cookies look AMAZING! I’m all about the adventure!!!

  123. I am definately a bit of both. My son has food allergies so while I love to experiment with baking, I must taste test in order to find out if he will eat them.

  124. I absolutely love to decorate cookies. I love to see what I can come up with and then seeing the faces on the people who receive them. They’re priceless.

  125. Tester. MmmMMmm I love cookies

  126. Got to love an adventerous cookie!! These are ADORABLE!!!

  127. I am a cookie maker. I love that you can look at a design and make it your own special thing. It’s a way to be artistic, even though I have no art skills :)

  128. adventurous cookie maker and eater!

  129. I’m attempting to be adventurous and am having a lot of fun decorating with candy clay! Do you ever use candy clay instead of fondant? My husband is content being the taste tester! Love your site!

  130. I am not an adventurous cookie maker, but I am feeling pretty inspired lately….

  131. Those cookies are seriously adorable! I’m not quite adventurous, but not just the taste tester, either. With cookies, I know that we love our old “stand bys” so much, that I don’t try new recipes as much as I should! If I win, I’ll make it a priority, though! I have 3 little cookie testers always wanting new ones!

  132. I just got a new stand mixer and I am looking for fun things to bake. I would love to try being adventurous and make fun cookies, my kids would love it. But I am more of a taster at the moment.

  133. I love those hats!!! My daughter and I bake cookies all the time. We always get adventerous with our recipes but have never made anything this beautiful!

  134. I’d like to be more adventurous, but I’m inevitably a taste tester! So I have to watch how many “adventurous” batches I make!

  135. I definitely love making them. Tasting ain’t bad either. ;)

  136. Those are absolutely adorable!
    It looks like it would have taken a long time to make.

    That book looks like it has many wonderful cookie ideas! I would love to try some of them. But as far as the adventurous cookie maker, I am more a taste tester. I am scared to try cookies…but maybe I will branch out and try some!!!

  137. Love love love those adorable cookies!!!! Before kids I liked them pretty, but with an infant and a toddler, I’m contnt being a taste tester.

  138. I’m a cookie taster :)

  139. Those hats are absolutely adorable!

    I am definitely more often on the taste test side of the equation, but with inspiration like this, that could change! Love the lemons!

  140. That book looks like tons of fun! Thanks for sharing!

  141. Love to create new things with cookies. I NEED this book! :)

  142. i love to try it all – but im always disappointed at how my things look! :o(

  143. That plunger-cutter is adorable – the flowers are so cute! I’m definitely a “do-er”…once they’re finished, then I’m a tester.

  144. pick me random generator. pick me! These cookies are too cute and I love the little flower cutters too.

  145. I’m adventurous! I am all about trying new cookies. I especially want to try those lemon and watermelon ones! Presh!

    You inspire me!

  146. I want to be an adventurous baker… and I try, but I am not great… yet!

  147. Oh my gosh, I totally need that book. Those couldn’t be cuter!

  148. Oh my – these are great! It would definitely be an adventure for me to try and make these! Eating them would be a snap.

  149. I am all about cookies, this book is a great step above the normal. I love it!!!!

  150. I’m definitely an adventurous cookie-maker, and I aspire to be as awesome as you some day. :D

  151. That is an amazing cookbook. I L?VE Cookies! I am an adventurous cookie maker…but in order to be adventurous it is essential to be a taste tester! Wouldn’t want to give anyone a cookie that wasn’t tasty.
    Thank you again for your generous spirit and adding a smile to my Monday :)

  152. I am both!

    Would love to try my hand at these :)

  153. I haven’t made very many fancy cookies, but if I was inspired, I would most definitely be an adventurous cookie maker:) In the meantime, I’m content to just taste delicious creations by others!

  154. I am a content taster but I want to be a maker..maybe this book will help.

  155. I consider myself adventurous, but would need A LOT more practice to make anything that resembles the perfection I just saw. Beautiful. Those tiny roses – are they handmade?

  156. I’d make the cookies and immortalize them with varnish of some sort! :) I wouldn’t let anyone eat them! lol!

  157. I love to bake cookies, but I can’t decorate worth a darn. I love to dream about doing it, but mine never look like I want them to, so I guess I’m a good tester.

  158. I would love a copy of that book! I am not an adventurous cookie maker, but would LOVE to be :)

  159. Those are beautiful cookies. Imagine the possibilities! I’d consider myself an adventurous cookie maker/baker when I have the time in the kitchen. I love to bake!

  160. I’m an adventurous baker! My creations aren’t always perfect, but I love to try!

  161. I love LOVE making cookies!! Probably more so than cake!!

    These hats are so adorable!

  162. I like to think I am an adventurous baker – but somehow it never seems to actually work out that way…

  163. Def an adventerous cookie maker!!

  164. Ooooo, thanks for the chance to win this great book! I like to think that I’m an adventurous cookie baker – I always like to try new recipes, shapes, and decorations. Thanks! Michele

  165. Beautiful cookies! Great cookie book!

  167. Adventurous when the mood strikes! that is usually when i have TIME :) Love the book So creative! Hope you are feeling better! I said a prayer for you :)

  168. I’m adventurous! just look at my blog! I’m not scared of anything. not even adorable cookie hats!! Thanks Bakerella! If I win this book, maybe I’ll bake my way through it when I finish my cupcake book!!

  169. I’m the adventurous type, love to try new creative things.
    Of course, i also enjoy tasting as well :)

  170. I like to be adventurous. always try new recipes. This is a darling book. Good incentive to go for it!!

  171. i absolutely love to bake cookies!!… but i would never turn one down either!!

  172. most definitely both! also, does a batter taster count? mmm mmm good.

  173. I absolutely LOVE to decorate cookies, and the more detail the more fun!!! I have also been having a BLAST trying out your cute cake bites! So fun! For Easter I made cute little carrots, eggs, sheep, bunnies, chickies, and flowers!
    Thanks for the inspiration, Bakerella!

  174. I’ve been know to go on a cookie adventure or two…

  175. Sweet! Love those!

  176. I fancy myself a adventurous cookie maker, but when it comes down to it….I’m really a taster with occasional flashes of baking creativity! :-)

  177. Definitely a taster!

  178. i’m both! i love making/eating cookies :)

  179. adventurous cookie maker~!

  180. My mom always told me that for holidays, etc. either make something that looksreally good or tastes really good. Although I strive for both, I usually go for taste, unless I’m feeling really creative!

  181. I am the World’s Greatest, “I Think I Can Do That”…but then they never even look half as good! It’s always fun to try tho!

  182. ADVENTUROUS COOKIE MAKER!!! Or adventurous ANYTHING baker for that matter! I love to do fun stuff!!!

  183. I’m more on an adventure baker!! And usually I don’t taste what I have bake..

  184. I would say that I am a content taste tester :) My mom is the adventurous cookie maker….so I get to taste hers.

  185. I love to bake and taste. Though I usually find that I don’t have time to spend on decorating. I don’t think that I would make fondant for cookies. I don’t like how it tastes. So I am adventurous with taste mainly not looks. I’m willing to go the extra mile if it is going to taste fabulous.

  186. I am a cake baker, cake decorator, cookie maker, cookie decorator! I don’t claim to be professional but I love doing it and especially when I see the faces of the children when they see their cakes or cookies. This book would be a GREAT asset to me for getting ideas.

  187. Adventurous when I have the time…but I adore looking at other people’s cookie adventures.

  188. so cute! I would have done those cookies in a heartbeat! Love it!!!! thanks for sharing. :)

  189. Beautiful bonnets!! I find using a shortbread cookie recipe keeps the cookies from spreading so you don’t have to recut them…..although, I like the way your edges look on the recut cookies!
    I’m a big fan of adventure when it comes to baking…..I love challenging myself! Those wedding cake cookies are precious!

  190. I leave the baking and decorating to my sister. She fabulous at it! I’m the taste tester. Since we’re moving in together soon, this book would work out great for both of us :)

  191. I’m an adventurous cookie maker! I love baking and creating things <3

  192. I TRY to be adventurous, but than i end up being the mostly only taste tester and baker…which is bad for the hips… but i do try….

  193. I don’t have the patience to make such beautiful artwork, and I don’t dare to eat them, either! I still love making and eating the less intensive cookies, though.

  194. I try to be adventurous cookie maker but it doesn’t always work! Looks like this book would be a great help.

  195. Love it! If I don’t win it, then I am going to buy it!

  196. I would try any new adventure! Sounds like this book would be great to get cookie ideas!
