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.
You cookies are so, so pretty!!! I’m putting up a linky thingy this week (oh, great minds think alike), so be sure to link up this cuteness!!!
Happy Easter!
I love them all! You did an amazing job. I think they are all so sweet ;-).
again…cute cute cute! You do great work. I like them all..and I thought of the olympics. did I get any bonus points or am I way off?
Those cookies look great!!
Olympics! 🙂 I love the flower one!!! 🙂 But they are all gorgeous – as usual!!!

I love the colors….love love love them…
My guess is the olympic rings…. but dont give me negative points if I’m wrong! Great job on the cookies. And I’ll take the one with hardly any frosting 😉 ANY cookie you make has to be delish! and I thought it was pretty cute myself…
Hand cut…Amanda, you are totally an over-achiever! I mean that in the nicest way possible! How thoughtful to make BIG cookies–you know everyone wants the biggest one of these yummy cookies anyway! They are beautiful! I can’t even figure out the frosting thing past “solid color”. It’s a talent! Your husband’s co-workers are lucky people! Happy Easter!
I always love your cookies! I think the colors are great!
Totally disagree with you – they’re all great & I love them all. Seriously!
