I also love the big soft fluffy sugar cookies. Every time I give some to my mom she says I put crack in them because she will eat the whole bag in one day...

Thank you! My parents made wedding cakes, cookies and all kinds of candies when I was younger so I grew up around decorating supplies and learned to bake when I was pretty young. I use the frosting bags and tips to decorate everything...even when I make my deviled eggs I put the yolk mixture in a bag with a star tip and fill the eggs in a big swirl. I quit for a while though because I had damage in both arms from carpal tunnel but both arms were done last year so I'm at it again!

Oh my gosh!!! Adorable! You did a nice job decorating them! That's harder to do than it looks! I know, I bake a lot!!! I bet they taste yummy!! And yes that's THE best breakfast!!( with a diet coke!!:-) for me!!)

I couldn't either...I grabbed another one on my way through the kitchen a while ago

I scolded my husband for getting into 'his' cookies that I don't care for...I told him he had to eat the ones I made so they would get out of here faster! lol!

I gave a dozen to our son and his family last night and another dozen is going to our daughter and her family in about 10 minutes but that still leaves a few.

Thank you...it did take some time but it was worth it and I do enjoy decorating. I had mine with about 4 cups of coffee...that should give me enough energy to get through the day!

Great job very festive

They look so good, I want one.

[my2boyz]

Thank you Micah my love and TutBugaloo...I wish you could eat a few too...that would be less for me to have to eat and I'd quit grabbing one everytime I walk through the kitchen! lol!

I talked with my daughter last night and we're going to bake cookies for Valentine's Day and get together here to decorate them...that should be fun

Wow, now that is impressive. My cookie baking skills are very limited
I had to look at them again...those are so pretty, great job!

Darn...now I want a cookie.

Last summer I bought a huge box of Wilton supplies from a store that closed. My grand daughter wanted to make a cake so I gave her a supply kit...she made the cutest red/green and white cake to take to her Dad's at Christmas but she took a picture of it on her cell phone to show me...it was really cute. So, I imagine we will have fun decorating cookies together and I'll have my camera handy for future scrapbook material

I've already been checking out different blogs, the Wilton website and my decorating books for ideas...I found the cutest heart shaped cookies that look like the word candies so they are definitely on the list. Oh, and while searching through the recipe section I found a recipe for chocolate chip cookie dough cup cakes with cookie dough flavored frosting...I'll have to make those just for fun!
