Here’s a look inside the cookie jar.
There’s lots you can do with just pink, red and white frosting.
For the sugar cookie recipe and royal icing recipe, refer to this post.
I outlined and immediately filled for nice clean frosting edges.
I think my favorite one was my sassiest cookie yet. I’m really walking on the wild side with this one.
This cookie is “sealed with a kiss.”
I used my trusty alphabet cutter set to make hugs and kisses.
I used “wet on wet” techniques for a flat cookie.
And some were done with a “wet on dry” technique which results in a dimensional/textured cookie.
I made these little lace darlings without a projector. {Cue applause}
These were just simple scalloped edge hearts and I attempted to make them look like they had a lace edge. You might have to look close…
After the red was dry, I made a white edge. After that was dry, I put a little more icing on and used my paint brush for a little “brush embroidery” style edge. This one is only done on one side.
Can you tell the difference?
And I also made some big cookies (that weren’t made to fit in the jar).
But I do love a basic rectangle cookie that is open to all possibilities.
I busted out my projector for this little phrase.
And then I broke down and tinted some icing a really light turquoise.
So we will end on that sentimental note: Love is… going out on a limb.
How do you like my cookie equivalent to a greeting card?
Hallmark, if you need me to write for you, let me know. hehehe.

These are so amazing! No matter how hard I tried I don't think my cookies could ever be that impeccable. So pretty snd they look yummy too! Great job!!
APPLAUSE! (on cue)
I love the Xs + Os and the hearts surrounded by lace. So, so beautiful!
gorgeous! you are so talented!!!
Absolutely love the sealed with a kiss cookies. How did you get your lines so straight on the Xs and Os?
so cute, I love how subtle the lace boarder is, it's perfect!
Do you really eat those. I would want to frame them. Amazing
Holy WOW.
LOVE the swak-cookies. How did you make those lips?
You must have an incredibly steady hand. I need to try your icing recipe. If I get that close to the edge, mine inevitably drips over. If I iced cookies more than once a year, it would help, too. 😉
Oh, I'm a new follower, too!

All your cookies are wonderful and the rectangular ones are fabulous!
These are gorgeous!!! I'm hosting a Valentine's cookie decorating party for my daughters and their friends this weekend, but I don't think I'll show them these, or I'll have some very frustrated 8 & 10 year olds on hand when theirs aren't as amazing as yours!!!
What a beautiful set of cookies! Love the "All you need is love" and the red/aqua birds!
What bottle are you using that you can put your cake tips on it!?! I want (no NEED!!!) one of those =-)
I'm honestly dying right now. These are way too perfect. I need all things cookie decorating now!! But, how do you eat them? They are art!
