Cookies of the week!

I started making cookies for the crews for the show sorta as a joke. But then it's become something I really look forward too every Tuesday. So last week I departed from my typical iced sugar cookies and used some recipes I found online to make last week treat boxes:


Gotta love my Ashley Brook Design post-it notes as a finishing touch!!! I used treat boxes I had left over from Valentine's Day.

Here are the recipes I used:
Magical Peanut Butter Cookies by Paula Deen
Fluffy Oatmeal Rasin cookies by Paula Deen (except I didn't make them sandwiches)
Sugar Cookie "Smooch", I just winged this one. It was a bag of sugar cookie mix then you push a hershey kiss in it!

I really think it helps boost moral of the crews when they come back on the first day of the week to some fresh cookies. A lot of them are away from their families and loved ones and it me making cookies keeps people happy, then I love it!!

Can't wait to show you guys this weeks treat....tomorrow I'm making CAKE BALLS!!

The cookies I made during "the toe break of 2010"

Alright, if I broke my toe making cookies, they BETTER had been worth it, right??

Worth it they were! Maybe it was the meds they gave me, but I got inspired. And my detail work got a lot better. I wanted to go with a beach theme (for no other reason than I saw these adorable cookie cutters on Copper Gifts.com


Here's a little picture of what each crews gift box looked like.

Bikinis and board shorts

Some colorful one pieces

Close up of the board shorts. I tried to do some detail but my icing kept messing up...I won't say what I think these look like.....

I think the palm trees were my favorite. I just loved how simple they turned out!

So while I did get hurt while making cookies, at least they were fierce!!
