I sorta went nuts.
The plan was to make some Rose Cookies for a friend.
I ended up not making a single rose cookie.
But lots of others.
Sugar cookies with chocolate buttercream and a raspberry on top.
Chocolate sugar cookies with buttercream and a cherry on top.
Cherry cookies with chocolate buttercream and chocolate sprinkles.
And a bunch more.
I couldn’t stop.
They are so easy.
And SO yummy.
I didn’t even consider busting out the thesauruses for yummy. Cause that is by far the best word to describe these cookies.
Yummy.
I used my favorite sugar cookie recipe for the white and pink cookies. (To make them cherry flavored, simply add cherry extract instead of almond extract)
The perfect crusting buttercream.
And then chocolate buttercream. And chocolate sugar cookies. I would share the recipes… but I need to tweak them first. Right now they are SO chocolaty and SO rich its hard to taste anything else.
Hopefully a tutorial soon. But right now I need to hit the gym. And when I say gym, I mean sauna.
Just sayin.

Yum! Yum! Yum!

Ok…..and SO chocolatey and SO rich are a BAD thing????? We will take that recipe as is…..really! No tweaking necessary! Really! LOL
So pretty, Amanda! They look like cupcake tops, you know like muffin tops?
wow- you are so creative. I never would have thought to pipe cookies like this. One more thing to add to my wish list! You are so special, Amanda!
Gorgeous and yummy seem like the perfect adjectives for these cookies. What a lucky friend you have!

Oh my gosh – sorry for the tweet comment – had this window & your giveaway window open ~ posted on the wrong one! LOVE LOVE LOVE these beautiful cookies ~ I bet they taste so good!
These are so beautiful and colorful! I love the idea of a cookie with cupcake frosting; the best of both worlds!
Oh my goodness, you just elevated simple sugar cookies to that next level!
they are really pretty! but it’s just that the amount of buttercream is too much for me.
Hey there! Would you mind (if you have the time in between 4 kids, life, baking, blogging, etc!) letting us know what tips you used? Your things are just too beautiful and I’d love to give it a try!! THanks for always sharing – you are an inspiration.
These are so adorable! I didn’t think cookies could be as adorable as cupcakes, but you did it. I’m terrible at baking cookies, they always turn out too hard. But after seeing this, I’m definitely going to give them another try!
I wish I could make things like this! you are so inspiring.
How do you make everything look so beautiful?! You are so talented!! You motivate me to practice my skills more…thanks!
Fantastic! I’m amazed with your creativity. That’s truly a work of art.
So many yummy treats! And they all turned out lovely! I’d like to invite you to link up at my Friday Favorites party!
Hi Amanada,
Thanks for visiting my blog and your kind words! As I said in my post, I love your blog, you are always an inspiration for me!
Oh, but I was a bit embarrassed to have you see my rendition of your lovely cake
I would be *so* fat if I lived with you.
My teeth are aching just looking at these, I want one (or twenty) right now! Actually, I’d really just like to know which tip you used for the really ruffly designs.
These look so yummy!
I know it sounds campy, but one day I want my blog to be as good as yours:)
gorgeous! What tip did you use for the really ruffly ones?
These are beautiful and look delicious! Thanks for sharing
Beautiful! They look variously a bit like cupcakes, a bit like macaroons. And definitely yummy.

These are so cute. I love the ones with the raspberries.
You went nuts, all right. A good kind of nuts (BTW: how did you miss putting NUTS on those cupcakes??) if you ask me. You must have such fun decorating your cookies!
HOW am I just now seeing this?!?!? Oh my goodness…I WANT those cookies!!!
this is what i like–very little cookie, very lotta frosting.
They look beautiful, love the raspberries.
Tut aren’t they too sickly and sweet with all that buttercream piled on top?
These are SO Pretty! What kind of frosting tip did you use for the tall ruffley one?
Well, I guess they could be considered sickly as you say it. I have enjoyed many a cupcake with frosting piled high, I just wanted to try it on a cookies as well. Sorry if it offends you.
can you share how you created the “carnation” looking pink one? what tip? thanks
which tip did u use for the cookies with chocolate and pink frostings??
Buttercream is my favorite topping for sugar cookies. These are gorgeous, and they look so decadent. It sounds cheesy, but they seriously made me drool.
I love the fresh fruit and the pinks, browns, reds, and whites…so lovely.
Will you share what tip you used to get the tall ruffley frosting topper? Thanks.
Admire these cookies a lot. Iam awestruck on seeing your beautiful space Amanda. Iam so passionate about baking but just that i could not know how to go right with it(i mean i love to become a pastry chef). Your rock. Keep up the great work.
