I did it. I’m sooooooo excited. I have been wanting to learn how to make homemade decorated sugar cookies since I started this website. But, I’ve been putting it off because they really intimidated me. The whole homemade dough thing. (As far as sugar cookies go, I grew up making the refrigerated Pillsbury kind. You know what I’m talking about.) Not to mention, I didn’t have a rolling pin. That’s right. Me. No rolling pin. Never owned one. Then, there’s the whole royal icing issue, in two consistencies, and making sure it doesn’t dry out. It just always seemed like too much. Then I came across the book, Cookie Craft
. And, wow, everything just seemed possible. My dreams of smooth sugar-coated cookies could come true. So, I bought the book and then, went a couple of stores over to Williams-Sonoma and bought my very own rolling pin… a silicone one… look how pretty it is. (Yes, I probably overpaid, but I was in the moment and had to have one.)
It worked wonderfully with some very helpful tips and tricks from the book.
Now, I don’t really own that many cookie cutters, so I used this set of Ateco daisy cutters that I had on hand to do most of my experimenting. Thought they would be a great way to practice flowers.
So far, so good. Guess this might not be so hard after all.
Now, skip ahead the several bowls of icing color, squeeze bottles, sugar crystals, and toothpicks that covered my kitchen table and ta-dah… beautiful sugary flowers.
I’m really excited about how they came out. Not too shabby for my first go at it. Especially since I have a really hard time piping. Now, all you veteran cookie bakers, cut me a little slack here. I know I can improve a lot on the look of these, but, oh how much fun it will be to practice getting better. Think of all the poor cookies I’ll have to sacrifice as test subjects. Yay!!!
I also made some teddy bears with this batch. They’re so cute. I think I’m in love with them.
And, after all that work, this is what makes it so worth while.
Thanks Cookie Craft, for giving me the guts to go for it. I love it when things work out like you hope. And, your recipe and directions were perfect. I guess it’s true, you never know what you’re capable of until you try.
Now, for the good news. I liked this book so much, I went and bought another one just for you.

My favourite store bought cookie is Pan di Stelle by Mulino Bianco an italian brand. It is a chocolate and cocoa cookie with sugar stars on it.

My favorite homemade cookie would have to be chocolate chip and store bought…..Nutter Butter!! Yummy!! Love your blog…I have been so inspired!!
My favorite homemade cookie is the classic sugar cookie with icing. Even though I am a fine cook there are 2 things I struggle with that would be sugar cookies and jello. My hubby says my rolls, dinners, desserts and such are all great but I really struggle in the sugar cookie area. I guess it’s a good thing or else I would eat them everyday if I could. So you see I REALLY need this book so my hubby doesn’t have to make me my favoriet cookies anymore. (really he’s in charge when it comes to the little morsels of suggary goodness)
My favorite store bought cookies would be pumpkin chocolate chip from Macey’s grocery in Utah. Mmmm almost as good as a yummy sugar cookie coated in frosting!!

I remember from being a kid the long, boring days of rolling and cutting with my mom, only to slap on icing and dunk the cookies in a bowl filled with sprinkles. Not pretty at all….Please Please Please let me win this book!!!
My favorite homemade cookie is a soft ginger molasses cookie.
For store bought cookies, I have to go with Oreos.

Ok. It’s my first visit and my first comment. My wife actually showed me your site because she liked the book and wanted me to buy her one too. :(
And since your giving one away, though I’m pretty sure I have no luck in raffles, I thought of giving it a shot. So here goes.
My favorite homemade cookies are fresh-from-the-oven chocolate chip cookies baked by my wife, still warm and delicious!
My favorite store-bought cookies have to be those milano cookies from Pepperidge Farms. Cheap and delicious!
Anyway, if possible, my wife wants to ask if its possible to have the recipe for sugar cookies. She’s too shy to ask herself. That’s it!
Thanks!
Ack! I didn’t leave contact information. Sproutedwriting@gmail.com.
Grazie! Here’s hoping I get a beautiful new cookbook!
Yes. Those are very pretty cookies, and I hear you on the royal icing conundrum. Have you done something on using a press? I haven’t used one yet (nor do I own one), but I want to…on both. I don’t do sugar cookies often because of the labor–lots of time for just a small amount of cookies, when I usually want to give several away at a time.
My favorite homemade cookie: gingersnaps and my whole-wheat oatmeal-chocolate chip.
Favorite store-bought: Huh. I don’t know when I last had or bought a store-made/had cookie, so this is actually a good question…oh, something Pepperidge Farm. Probably the Piroulines or Pirouettes, because they’re so elegant, and because they have frosting-like filling. I would love to learn to make something like that.
My favorite homeade cookie is definitely the peanut butter cookie! My mom used to make them extra nutty and soft with Jiff and chocolate sprinkles…… I dream of them!
My favorite store-bought cookie is and has always been the Circus Animal Cookie! I love the frosting and sprinkles, I could eat the whole bag in one sitting.
Those cookies are perfect!

My favorite homemade cookie is Snicker doodles, or sugar. Both are Grandma recipes and I love them. I love to do the snickerdoodle’s becasue the taste fabulous, I have never had one that compairs. I love to eat the sugar but they take to long to make. Valentines and Christmas are about the only time I make them.
Store bought has to be OREO’s for sure. I could eat the whole bag.

THANKS!!
My favorite homemade cookies are actually sugar cookies with buttercream icing! We have a “family recipe” from an old cookbook and often get compliments when we take our cookies somewhere that they are the “best” sugar cookies. The buttercream icing isn’t as pretty as the royal icing, but it sure is delicious and creamy!
My favorite store bought cookies are probably Oreo’s, the old favorite. I also really like the Keebler Grasshopper cookies.
All this talk of cookies is making me want to bake some! :)
My favorite homemade cookie is chocolate chip (no nuts, because a nut occupies precious real estate where a chocolate chip could reside).
Hmm… favorite store bought cookie would be Diamond Bakery Chocolate Chip Cookies (Hawaii cookies–mmm!!)
My favorite homemade cookie is snicker doodles (crackle tops) and my favorite store bought ones are oreos.
Ooooo = those look delicious! My favorite homemade cookie has to be oatmeal. Such a comfort food!

What’s your favorite homemade cookie?
-Chocolate chip cookies. You just can’t beat them.
What’s your favorite store-bought cookie?
-Oreos!
My favorite homemade cookie is chocolate raisin walnut cookies. They are amazing…not too much chocolate but just enough for my sweet tooth. My favorite store bought cookie has to be the Keebler Fudge striped cookies, mini size.
Favorite Homemade Cookie: Would have to be Oatmeal Raisin. As a child my mother would always rave about her grandmother’s cookies. Unfortunately my great grandmother, Mamie, passed away before I could learn her secrets and create fond memories of her baking on my own. So when I first made my batch of Oatmeal Raisin cookies and my mother said they were just as good as Mamie’s it made me so happy and proud.
My favorite store bought cookies would have to be the Chocolate Mint Milanos. While Milanos are good on their own with one cookie being just slightly off center from the other, there is something even more deliciously decadent about having chocolate cookies and a mint icing inside. Heaven!
Favorite homemade: Chocolate Chip, plain and simple.
Favorite store-bought: Archway Windmill Cookies.
Both with a huge glass of cold milk.
Thanks!

My favorite homemade cookie is peanut butter. My favorite store bought is Mother’s frosted animal cookies. Yum.
Ooh…favorite homemade cookie is called “peanut butter surprise” and it’s basically two thin chewy chocolate layers with a sweet peanut butter filling in the middle. Always good and always has people asking me how I made them. YUM! Unfortunately, my youngest has a nut allergy, and so we haven’t made these in over 2 years. Sigh.
Best store bought cookie is the mini chessmen by Pepperidge Farms! (As a child is was “nutter butters.”) I ate an entire bag of mini chessman a couple of months ago while reading a really good book. Oh my!!!
