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.
Your vintage cookies are wonderful! I swear, you must use the smallest piping tip ever! What number do you use to get your lines sooo thin? Nice work on the piping. You have a very steady hand. Very detailed cookies ~ Great job!

Jealous of your icing skills! I need to get more crafty with mine!
Amanda, just had to mention again that your recipients LOVED the cookies! They were a hit…. delicious AND beautiful! What a surprise to have these wonderful GIGANTIC cookies. We are very pleased with the results. Thanks again for delivering such an awesome product. 🙂
(and don’t be so hard on yourself!!!) 🙂
These are truly wonderful. The bunny with the balloon is very olf fashioned and nostalgic. Bravo!
These are beautiful, love the colors!
LOVE the tweet cookie and the one with multi-colored flowers!
Awkward and weak are NOT adjectives I would use to describe anything you have done. They are beautiful. I think the colors turned out great, too!
must have the tweet cookie! too cute!
All I can say is “wow”,those are some seriously beautiful cookies. You obviously are very detail oriented…and must have some awesome patience!! I love them:)
I love the big cookie idea and the tweet decoration is awesome
