Easter cookie's coming soon.

No, I'm not getting ready to do surgery at a loonie bin.

What I'm doing is getting ready to start on my Easter cookies.

I like to wear surgical gloves and a hair net so as not to have any hair or whatever else falls off of old ladies while they are cooking.

Nothing worse than to be eating something and find a hair in it...makes you wonder what else fell in ..lol.

Soon I will be posting the Easter cookie's...this is just a warning that they will be here soon..

Finished My Valentine Cookies

I've finished decorating my Valentine cookies.

Valentine Cookie's

Cookie's



First you have to go to the last picture and start with the number 1.) and work your way up the photo's. I put them in wrong and don't know how to rearrange them in the right order.






6.) The picture of the completed cookies are from the Wilton web site. I will wrap all my arrow cookies in saran wrap and then put them in zip lock bags to freeze until closer to Valentine's Day. I will then take them out of the freezer and decorate them for gifts.




















5.) The cookie on the right has been baked...the cookie on the left will be going in the oven.


















4.) use a craft stick to connect both sides of the arrow

















3.) Cut the side's off of one of the hearts to make the 'feather end' of the arrow cookie





2.) Using a cookie cutter, cut out two hearts





1.) Make a sugar cookie recipe and roll out dough
