The weather outside is frightful....

.....but the cookies are so delightful! How about some winter cookies to brighten up your day? Matching mittens and hats and snowflakes are the just the thing to serve with hot cocoa to warm you up on a cold day. I can make them in any color combination you can imagine.

Stay warm, friends!

Frigid temps + frozen pipes = cookies?

What do you do when your pipes freeze and then burst? Turn off the water and call a plumber, of course. Then what do you do after the plumber has to cut the backs out of your kitchen cabinets? You call your favorite contractor to fix the mess! And then what do you do? Reward him with some tool cookies of course!

I could have used some help from the elves

I'm baaaack!!!! It was a very busy Christmas for this cookie lady! Here's a little re-cap....

First came four corporate thank you gift boxes for IntuitiveTek's support offices. Each office received 20 hand piped logo cookies with a Christmas theme.

Then 110 boxes to their best customers. Each customer received a gift box including a santa, a snowman, and a logo cookie. They were shipped all over the country and to Canada!

After that came a platter of 20 simple yet elegant snowflakes.

And finally, a platter of 4 dozen Christmas lights.

I hope everyone had a beautiful holiday season! Here's to a fabulous 2014!

Tuesday Tip of the Week

Tuesday Tip of the Week {rolling pin bands}

If I had to choose ONE tool that has significantly improved my cookie making, it would have to be my Rolling Pin Rubber Rings that my hubby got me as a present.

Once you pop these babies on your rolling pin, you can roll your dough to uniform thickness. Every. Single. Time. 

Mind. Blown.

The rings keep the rolling pin a precise distance from the dough, so you never get cookies that are too thin or too thick. The set he got me included 8 different rings, or 4 pairs: 1/16-inch, 1/8-inch, 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch. 

I use the 1/4-inch pair and my cookies turn out perfect every time.

Do you have a favorite tool that you can't live without?

Send a smile

Do you know someone who could use a little pick-me-up? Send cookies! Here's a platter that went out to Texas for a mom who broke her ankle but still had kiddos to take care of. Someone thought she needed a little cheer, so hearts and balloons were in order!

Is there someone in your life who needs some love?
