Personal Side

It is WONDERFUL to be home and back to cookies.
I've decided I rather like being weeks and weeks ahead for blog posts.....
so believe it or not, I've been doing back-to-school cookies this week. :)

Next week I'm working on special cookies for my two new son-in-laws.
They both have birthdays right now.....and since we are celebrating together next week, 
I thought I'd make them special cookies.
I'm going to try a red velvet cut-out cookie recipe and make a cream cheese-flavored glaze.
This is one of Joe's favorite flavors, so I'm trying to please him on his birthday. :)

Somehow, I injured my hand at the base of my thumb.
Boy, you sure do realize how much you need your hands when they suddenly become painful!
Thankfully, it is my left hand, (I'm right-handed), so it hasn't deterred me too much. ;)

Summertime......it is hard to believe we've just dove in.

Instagram photos for this week:


Lovely Ukrainian gifts from a cookie friend who lives in Kiev.
Thank you Natalia!
You were so kind to think of me!



 Headed home to USA today.
Our trip to Ukraine has been extremely fruitful and we've been blessed beyond measure.
Now all I can think about is H.O.M.E. :)


Finally getting the textures wanted for an ice cream cone cookie.
Mmmmmmmm.........


Happy Sunday!

May youre Tuesday be filled with delightful things....


Remembering last summer's big SPLASH into cookies. :)

Bottle Cap Cookies (Tutorial)






While perusing the internet looking for Fathers Day ideas.....
I saw soda "POP" being used to wish Dad a fun Fathers Day.

So here's some soda POP bottle cap cookies to commemorate the holiday. :)


I happen to have a bottle cap cutter that is no longer available.
But you could use a fluted round or just a circle cutter for these caps.



Outline and flood a circle in the middle of the cookie as shown below.

To make a more precise circle, use a food color marker (I use yellow) and 
trace around a smaller circle cutter right onto the cookie.
Follow the marker line to prevent a wobbly, misshapen-ed circle. ;)


Allow the inner circle to dry for about 15 min.
Then outline the outer edge with the tiny points of a bottle cap.
(see red cap below)
Flood over the entire cookie including the previous circle in the middle.
(see orange cap below)
This will give the bottle cap a puffy look.

After the cap has dried for about 2 hours, use a circle cutter just smaller than the cap to 
indent around the edge as shown below on the green bottle cap cookie.

Allow the cookies to dry for at least four hours (longer may be better)
 before indenting the middle with letters to spell POP.


Dry overnight.

Randomly paint on some silver metallic paint (or silver luster dust mixed with vodka)
around the cap to give it a hint of metal.
