Cookie Cutter 101

Dave made me another cutter.

He's claiming it'll cost me $10.00 because he's started a new business.

A cookie cutter business.

I am apparently his only customer.

I don't really see how this will be financially beneficial?

Robbing Peter to pay Paul.  Or robbing me to pay him.

We had purchased a 3 inch hand seamer...(note: I purchased it with my cookie profits)

 

He had these tin snips on hand.

 

And I drew it out to size, after looking online at about 10 different samples.

From here on out I pretty much just took pictures while Dave bended, pushed, pulled and tried not to slice off his fingers.

After all the bending was done, it was time for Dave to solder the ends together.

FIRE!

And then it cools.

And like magic...to me...I have a cookie cutter.

Guess I owe him $10.00.  I'll pay AFTER I actually use it to make cookies.  It could be faulty you know.

Cookie of the Month Club

I made up my own "Cookie of the Month Club" - but the only recipient is my grandmother.

Sorry.

You'll have to become friends with her or at least figure out where she lives to get the cookies each month.

Those are the rules.

And it was her Christmas present.

Once a month I am going to bake and decorate her one dozen cookies.

It's a win-win.

She gets a dozen cookies each month and I get practice.

So I plan on sharing each month's cookies in a "Cookie Club" post.  The good, the bad and the ugly.  No matter how they turn out.

Heck, I might even try out some new recipes for cookie flavors.

Who's a better guinea pig than my Grandmother?

Well, other than my husband who also enjoys free cookies.

So with that...I'll leave you...because I need to come up with an idea for her first month!

A True Talent!

This is something that I think is AMAZING.

Seriously, I stumbled upon this blog via Facebook (see, something good does happen with Facebook) and this lady amazes me.

You have to check out her blog...but even more so look at this cookie she made.

Her website can be found by clicking here!

Enjoy a true work of cookie art!
