I was making final plans with a girlfriend this morning for a playdate we’re having tomorrow. She casually mentioned that tomorrow is also her birthday!!
So! I knew I would love to bring her some cookies.. but I had ZERO time to do them as my in-laws were stopping by this afternoon and my house was still in major need of attention.
I decided to try out an idea I have been throwing around for awhile.
You know I love polka dots.
But did you also know about my love of cherries? Not actual cherries. Those I cant stand.
But cute little sew on cherries or greeting cards with cherries or sweet little baby onsies with cherries.
That is my bliss.
I used this sugar cookie recipe.
And this sugar cookie glaze icing.
I have never been super good at that whole ‘wet on wet’ technique… but since I had so little time it actually worked out pretty well!
I hope she has a great birthday tomorrow!
These are so fun and easy to do… and the potential color variations are endless!
I hope you will try them yourself!
Love those! I hate “real” cherries as well but love “fake” ones. Can I just say that I laugh when you say …

You are awesome. I do the same thing … sometimes you just gotta do what you love!
I love them!! I love the cherries look as well as real cherries! 🙂
Oh mylanta!!!!!!
Those look so pretty and delicate! I already know they are yummy!
I bet your friend really appreciated that gesture!!
I love cherries and polka dots, in fact all my cakes have polka dots on them. Lovely cookies, your friend is very lucky.
I love these! The red looks so pretty against the blue and the polka dots! Your cherries remind me of Mary Engelbreit:) These are the only kind of cherries I like too!
Not just adorable – totally awesome!! When I saw the top photo, I thought you had delved into painting your cookies. Those cherries definitely look painted. And you say you just threw them together….?! Very awesome.
Those are some of the sweetest cookies I’ve seen in a long, long time! WTG Amanda!
The fact that you made these for your friend in the middle of busy day time just speaks to how thoughtful you are. They are a sweet little cookie that I’m sure she will love and the birthday gesture even moreso.
Oh my goodness, I love cherries too! So much, that my kitchen was covered with them for 7 years, and I got a tatoo of a pair of cherries for my bachelorette party! (It wasn’t anything naughty, I just really love cherries.) 🙂 lol I love LOVE these cookies!
ADORABLE is an understatement….please share with us your technique for this process you called wet on wet. How is that accomplished. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and talent with us.
