Cookies Lately
Posted: July 28, 2012 Filed under: Batman, Birthday, Independence Day, Owls, Patriotic, Wedding Leave a comment »I’m so far behind so I’ll just catch you up in one giant post. I had a lull in my cookie making and the in one week, I did three different batches. A batch for a 4th of July birthday party, a batch for a little boy’s Batman party, and a batch for a couples’ shower. Then about a month later (which brings us to the present) I did some more owl cookies.
First up we have the 4th of July cookies. The guest of honor was named “Kay,” hence the “K” cookie. I am somewhat stripe obsessed when it comes to cookies. Stripes are classy, fun, and easy to do.
Up next is Batman!
And then the couples’ shower cookies. The groom is in the army. The wedding dress and monogram were my favorite part of this order.
Finally, we have the owl cookies. Owls are all the rage apparently! I see them everywhere. They’re on birthday invitations, pajamas, cakes, cookies, and who knows what else. You would think, then, that it would be easy to find various owl cookie cutters. Not so. I had to hand cut each of these owls with a Fiskars fingertip craft knife. I did not want to use the narrow slender owl cutter that I found online (and that seems to hold the monopoly on owl cutters). I wanted a chubby owl and this time I didn’t want to put him on a circle cookie.
And there you have it! My life in cookies. Lately, anyway.
{Spider-Man Cookies} For My Little Guy

He can now open a small Spider-Man boutique after receiving enough red, black, and white to last him through middle school. Based on my child’s limited exposure to actual Spider-man episodes, it’s amazing how much excitement he has over this web spinning character. He has seen a few of the old Spider-man shows you can watch on Netflix, but he no longer watches the more current Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends. It was a wee bit mature for my definition of “kid friendly.” My mom found a small Spider-man figurine (the word “figurine” feels wrong here) at the dollar store and gave it to him a few weeks ago. He held on to it like it was his best friend and slept with it for several nights. But now that the birthday party has come and gone, he thankfully has more than one Spider-man toy to choose from. I couldn’t wait to get these cookies out of my head and onto a platter. That’s the weirdest sentence I have uttered in awhile. My favorite cookie turned out to be the Green Goblin. He was a last minute decision, rooted in my disappointment over my head to toe Goblin. A bust version of the Goblin made me much happier than the full-body version. (weirder sentences are possible after all).
