Rose cookies with an acorn cutter

2/12/2016

A rose by any other name would be . . . an acorn? In this case, YES! Thanks to Sugarbelle, you can create a cookie rose with many shapes- other than a rose cutter!  
I actually own a rose cookie cutter, but it was a little too small for my liking . As I was digging through my many many many bins of cutters, this acorn cutter caught my eye! Upside down, it's the perfect shape for a closed rosebud!

Swirly Roses

8/27/2014

 
These little swirly roses are a twist on Sugarbelle's Simple Swirl Rose.  As I was recreating her sweet little flowers, I made a mistake.  A mistake that I loved!
Picture
Sugarbelle's Simple Swirl Roses are a view of a rose from above the blossom, with the swirl centralized.  I offset my swirl so that you view the rose from the side of the blossom.  That sounds kinda confusing.  Let me show you!

I Love You To The Core

1/22/2014

I knew it would happen, I just wasn't ready for it. The day that my oldest son pulled away from my attempted motherly embrace in public, followed by the stiff arm and stink eye in my direction.  Then, my heart sank even further when he called me "MOM", not "Mommy". I knew that we had turned that fateful pre-teen corner in our relationship. It was a sad day. Mind you, at home he returns my hugs and "Mommy" is still the preferred title for me, but I now understand the boundaries.   
So with Valentine's Day coming up, I wanted to make some cookies just for my growing-up oldest.  I needed to avoid this nightmarish scene: he pulls out the lovingly decorated pink heart sugar cookie from his lunchbox and the students at his lunch table chime in with "Awwww, your mommy loves you" said in the most childish voice that they could muster. That would not be good.

Nutty about Nuts

1/16/2014

So let me get the mushy stuff out of the way. I made these cookies for my husband (although my children will probably eat most of them) because I am, well, nuts about him. The typical Valentines hearts and flowers just doesn't "fit" our relationship. We are two crazy kids (err. .thirty-somethings) that were college sweethearts. Our offspring think we're whack-o when we crank up Young MC's "Bust a Move" and rap every word. Loudly. Some think we're bonkers because Mike encouraged me to quit my job to create cookies every day.

Yup- I am crazy about him, and our nutty ways.

Which is why I made him some cookie nuts. And some cookie squirrels too. Because nothing says "Happy Valentine's Day" like some squirrels and their nuts.  At least it does in my house.

    I'm Amy. Wife, Mom, former science teacher- and now full time cookie baker on Maryland's Eastern Shore. Pull up a chair and we'll create!  I'll bring the coffee- maybe Mike (The Cookie Widower) will make it for us.
