So I have been a huge fan of Bake at 350. Bridget can do things with cookies and icing I've never seen done. And don't get me started on her homemade hostess cupcakes. I unfortunately never really liked sugar cookies. That is until I ate my mother-in-laws. Then I could eat my weight in them. So when I started stalking Bridget's blog, I was really leery about actually making any of them. Well, that and the fact that I didn't think there was any way I could produce a cookie that would even resemble something she did. I mean go ahead, check this one out. Or maybe this one. I'll wait. Waiting. See, I told you she was good.
Well, I finally decided to try out her recipe and copied straight from her. Here's a link to her pumpkin cookies, and here is a picture of mine. Not nearly Bake at 350 worthy, but not bad for me. And I added leaves. Because I just don't know to leave well enough alone.
Now, I know the picture isn't perfect, but these were pretty cute. I made them for our teachers and staff at our school. I had some orange leaves as well, but they just looked odd to me. So shucks, I had to eat them. I mean, I let the kids have them as a snack one day. And as picky of a sugar cookie connoisseur that I am, these were REALLY good. In fact, I could eat these or a Sue Buster sugar cookie any day of the week, and would be perfectly content.
I really liked the white pumpkins. They were gorgeous.
And these were pretty cute as well.
And I now have three orders for cookies over the next four weeks. See what happens when you stalk someones blog, and resort to copying them? Just don't tell my kids it worked out so well!
Those look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteWow. I envy you. I, too, adore stalking Bake at 350 but I don't think I will ever make any. Me and cutout cookies do not get along. There was one year when i was in charge of making gingerbread men for a playgroup party so the kids could decorate them...let's just say that it was an ugly time. You are talented!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your blog a whole lot!
I hope you'll stop over and visit sometime over at Free 2 Be Frugal.
They are beautiful!!! You are making me want to break out my pumpkin & leaf cutters! :) As soon as you make them, you are in the business! ;) Welcome!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the sweet shout-out, too! ♥
First off those cookies look pro! So cute.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes they are just glue right on to the headband. I thought about trying to do velcro and making them change, but I decided it seamed easier to just have 10 headbands haha!
