Halloween Cookies and Kids

What is Halloween without....COOKIES? Who wants boring candy.

This is who. My Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. He taught my sweet little bee what this is all about. Sippy cup, candy bag and lollipop in mouth and she's ready to go. He did offer for her to stay home and he would take her bag and get candy for her. Right. I'm sure she would get the candy.

Race Car Cookies

"How about some Nascar cookies for my husband's birthday?"
"Sure, no problem."

Except I know nothing about Nascar other than checkered flags and "Gentlemen, start your engines". My "go to" site for cookie ideas had 3 pictures of race car cookies. Not very inspiring. So I searched and asked for ideas and this is what I came up with. What does the rpm dial even go up to? I just had to guess.

Who would have thought that cookie decorating would lead me to the Nascar website? And, who buys those dye-cast cars on that site for that much money???

Summer to Fall Cookies

I made these cookies for an "End of Summer" office party. I just bought some fall cutters and was excited to use them. Squirrel, acorn, leaves. But then, when it came time to fill in the details on the squirrel, I went blank. Guess I need to pay more attention to the little boogers running around the yard because those cookies need some work. So if you see me sitting outside staring off into the yard, I'm doing research. I am not just brain dead from answering the same question over and over and over to a 4 year old or trying to guess what a 1 year old wants when all she does is nod or shake her head. And nodding can mean either yes or no.

Time for me to eat the squirrels that didn't make the cut with a glass of wine.
