So I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to make some cookies for hubby’s work. The theme was a birthday/secular Easter. (for all those folks who wonder “why no crosses or other religious symbols?”)
I was so excited!!
Until I was halfway through decorating.
I realized that I had made some of the ugliest cookies ever. My color choices were weird. My designs were awkward. My concept is weak.
Oh well.
I do not have the energy nor the time to start over.
I wanted BIG Easter eggs (these are about the size of your hand) so I had to make my own template and cut out each individual cookie.
I was going for vintage colors… so I added a drop of yellow food coloring to everything but the white.
Everything was loosely based on this cookie.
In theory kind of cute… but who wants to eat a sugar cookie with hardly any frosting??? Hello!
Live and learn.
What he said.
(I sorta love this one, so please dont tell me if you think its ugly)
There it is. My sad attempt at birthday/secular Easter cookies.
NEXT year I have grand ideas!!
I used this sugar cookie recipe for the cookies.
I love your cookies! I really like the white one with flowers all over it..so pretty. you put my decorating to shame. 🙂
THE COUNTRY BUNNY!!! OMG I remember that book I used love it… Your eggs are beautiful!
…& the little gold shoes. Forgot to include the “proper” title.
I love them all, and I’m sure the recipients will too 🙂 Please don’t be so hard on yourself – you did a terrific job!
You did an amazing job Amanda! I love them all. So for the 1,000 bonus points, is that your take on the Olympic rings? 🙂
they remind me of the OLYMPICS!!! 🙂
I must disagree with you! Your creations are fabulous! The decorations on the five Easter egg cookies remind me of Tic Tac Toe! Continue to bake many wonderful goodies!
WINNER!!!! Great job smarty pants!!
Pretty! I love the different colors…they go together nicely and the little bunny is adorable!!
You have excelled once again Amanda. These vintage cookies are wonderful and I love all the tiny details in them. Job extremely well done I’d say. Your husbands co-workers will be crying for more!
