You know what happens when you forget to line your baking sheet with parchment paper? the cookies stick, break and you end up with only 2 :)) I made them with leftover dough, so I guess they were not meant to exist anyway!

I know I'm a month early but just trying to get some sampling done for Halloween cookies :) These are done in orange flavored royal icing.
Sweet little cookie boxes, perfect to fill with any little treats you want. Certainly the tops could be decorated any number of ways.

My flickr postings have become very infrequent, because it seems any interest in the photos is quite slim. I have enjoyed sharing my work on Flickr for several years, and cherish the relationships and inspiration I have found here. I will guess that since I now link my photos to my blog, that people may be following the link and viewing the photos there (which is great). Let me know if there are those of you who prefer for some reason to still see photos from me here on Flickr, or if you have found your way to the blog.
Vibrant series No. 1
This little cookie cutter is just under 1.5" / 4 cm in diameter. I happened to have some matching paper, so why not create a vibrant scene? Inspired by Macro Mondays' "Vibrant Minimalism" challenge.
My hubby and I took a four day mini vacation down to Chattanooga, TN. While we were there, we were lucky enough to meet Sandie (cookielady0000) from Flickr and her husband Tom. I got to see her GORGEOUS cookie shop. I made these to bring to her. (Cookie sheet inspired totally by kneadacookie!) She totally outdid me by preparing a beautiful basket of delicious cookies for me, which my hubby and I munched on our entire trip!!! :)
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients:
2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup shortening
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (12oz.)
1. Preheat oven to 375º F
2. In a large bowl, combine flour,
baking soda and salt; set aside.
In another bowl, beat butter and
shortening at medium speed
until well-blended and fluffy;
gradually add sugar and brown
sugar, beat well. Add eggs and
vanilla, beat well. Add flour
mixture to butter mixture, mix
well. Stir in chocolate chips.
3. Drop dough by heaping teaspoons
about 2 inches apart on baking
sheet. Bake 9 to 11 minutes. Cool
slightly on baking sheet; cool
completely on wire rack.
The blue mat that the cookies are on is silicon, I'm testing it out for the Cooking Club of America, then I let them know what I think. I think it's very cool and worth checking out. No need for a spatula to remove the cookies and the mat can withstand up to 500º. You can also freeze them and then take them straight to the oven. Fold them up for great storage, they never lose their shape. A good investment!
Have a great week!
Cookie was my mom's cat. After my mom left this world a few years ago, I had to find her cat a new home. I wasn't able to take her at the time because I had just given birth 3 days prior & couldn't deal with it all but I did manage to find her a wonderful home. Here she is about a month & half ago....she couldn't be more happier.
Playing around with some new ideas. The trees were inspired by a sweatshirt I found in a catalog. The square leaf cookies idea came from a pillow in a catalog.
Halloween sample designs that I felt inspired to do after trying out a new Chocolate Minichip Cookies recipe from the book "Sugarbakers' Cookie Cutter Cookbook". Very easy recipe to work with... and I think I like these almost better than my traditional sugar cookies, yum! Some design inspirations from cakecentral, TracyLH, clipart graphics, and my talented Flickr friend who always make me try harder ;)
Part of a set of cookies for a wedding by the ocean! Some tried and true designs I've done before, but a few new tries with textures. Don't you love the plate? On clearance at Kohl's - $5.00!!!!
Evelyn's a little late with her cookie baking this year. She manages to get them done by New Year's Eve with some help from the Poppy crew.
Cookies for a picnic/birthday party. 3 birthdays were being celebrated . . . well 4 if you count our country's birthday! The gift cookie was inspired by - but nowhere near as good as Rollin in Dough's beautiful cookie www.flickr.com/photos/41254198@N02/4745275934/in/photostr...
Cookies for a baby shower. Simple designs, but I really love the colors and how they all look together.

Just a few more days and then my cookie book (Het Koekboek) will be out!!
For those of you who are interested...
You can order (a Dutch copy of) the book and the cutters I designed for it like this 3D birdhouse on www.cakesbybien.nl after 13 september 2012. Their website is also translated in English and they accept international orders.
