Who doesn’t love classic Spritz cookies!? So perfectly shaped and bite-sized. I wanted to contribute something to a friend’s silent auction, so I baked up a batch of both classic vanilla as well as some chocolate Spritz cookies and layered them in a transparent paint-like can from Michael’s with colorful papers.

Complete! I only wish I’d cut the dividers a little more smoothly!
Had fun putting together this tiny cookie bag gift 🙂 These mini bags are from Japan!
I was really excited to use my cookie press gift (let’s face it, they’re basically Spritz cookies!) from a friend to make this cookie package birthday present!
Inside, there was this…. 🙂 Classic vanilla and ginger spice (with a sprinkle on top) cookies.
One of my friends said, “Are these all your sprinkles!!?!” to which I said, “Um, yeah…. why, do other people not have this many??” Apparently not. I never really thought about it… just that I have a lot and I know sprinkles make me happy 🙂
Before the decorating got under way… (there is a whole ‘nother box of sprinkles standing by)
rolling and cutting!
Cookie creations 🙂
I had a lot of fun experimenting with homemade fortune cookies.
I can’t say I have quite perfected the balance between a pliable form to work with while ensuring a crispy end product, but I’m getting there. Creating my own fortunes and planting them inside for others to find is so fun!
I make these Valentine’s Day cookies almost every year… simple and delicious, and full of love (and jam!)
Cutouts
I got carried away and decided to make cookie names for family members over in South Korea. I had fun decorating these individually and packaging them up in little baggies with labels.
Unfortunately, I think the box must have gotten opened in customs, because it arrived much much later than I expected it to. The cookies must have been so stale by then 🙁
Love the Lettery shadows
I decorated some Christmas cookies on my own…
Pumpkin Spice Cookies with simple sugar glaze on top. <3
While on a trip to Japan, I spotted this tiny little painted stand, not much bigger than a thumb. I think its intended purpose might have been for incense or something, but I knew right away that I saw it as a mini cake stand. 🙂 I purchased a set of tiny flower cookie cutters in Japan as well, and went to work when I got home to make these tiny little delights.
