Christmas Cookies

It is time to start thinking about Christmas cookies again!  We used to always get together with our cousins Robin and Allison and make cookies.  I remember loving the candy cane cookies that were made out of an almond flavored dough.  I will have to try those again this year, I think our daughter would love twisting the dough into canes! 

I made these tree cookies last year and I will be making them again this year. They are $27.00 per dozen and all of the cookies come individually wrapped in a cello bag with a raffia tie.  

I will also be making assorted Holiday cookie platters starting at $30.00 for six large cookies and 12 mini cookies.  Pictures will be coming soon!  

Ladies' Night at the Museum fundraiser

I just finished a donation of 100 cookies for a fundraiser at the Vermont Ski and Snowboard Museum.  

It is a Ladie's Night theme so I decided to go with a cosmopolitan and a wedge of lime.  All of the martini glass cutters available have a very thin stem and I was worried about breakage because these were going to be in a goody bag.  So I took one of my large circle cutters and formed it into a martini glass with a wider stem.

Then I chose the colors.

I just love these colors together, very Lily Pulitzer! They definitely brighten up a grey November day in Vermont!

Here is the finished product.

I think they will be fun for the party!

Congratulations Chelsea and Eric!

These cookies were made for a recent fall wedding in Vermont.  They had a beautiful day for the wedding.  They are 3 1/2 inch rounds and were packaged in cello bags tied with raffia.

I was so worried that I packed too many cookies in each box.  I was envisioning a box full of broken cookies, but I think they all survived!  It is amazing how worried you can get over cookies, they really are labors of love!

ORDERING INFORMATION

I wanted to put together a post with ordering information for local customers.  I am located in Morrisville, VT and I am happy to deliver in Lamoille and Washington counties.  I do not currently ship cookies.

I have a one dozen minimum order policy and need two weeks lead time.

All cookies come individually packaged in a cellophane bag tied with raffia unless otherwise indicated by the customer.  The cookies are best eaten fresh but will last for just over a week if left unopened.

Ingredients: Flour, sugar, eggs, butter, baking powder, salt, vanilla, fiori di scilica (a flavoring of citrus, vanilla, alcohol), confectioner's sugar, merengue powder, food coloring.

Cookies are processed in a facility ( my home) that also processes nuts. My cookies should not be eaten by people with severe allergies as I cannot guarantee they have not come into contact with allergens such as gluten, nuts, dairy, etc.

United Way

Well winter is definitely around the corner! We woke up to snow on the ski trails, but what a beautiful morning!

I made a dozen fall cookies for a United Way fundraiser.  United way is a great organization that is always giving back to the local community (http://www.unitedwaycc.org). 

Thank you Sweetambs for the cookie design!  I am going to use it for an upcoming fall wedding.  I just love the brown colors for fall.  The leaves were made using the brush embroidery technique.  It is a bit time consuming but I always love the results.  

Autumn in VT

Well I have not been making many cookies lately but that is because it had been such a beautiful fall here in VT!  It seems like everyday has been sunny and warm.  We all know that it is a long cold winter so we have been getting out and enjoying the fall!  The leaves were great this year.  A small, but strong storm blew most of them down on Monday, but there are still a few pockets of color.  My daughter recently learned how to ride a two wheeler and decided that she likes to hike!! This is huge for us since my husband and I went hiking every weekend before the wee one came along.  Of course we have to act out Little Red Riding Hood all the way up the mountain, but at least we are going up the mountain! I did make some dough tonight though and I am excited to try my new mini fall cookie cutters. I love minis! 

Happy Birthday Jane!

More birthday cupcakes! These cookies are really fun to make.  I need to start adding sprinkles to all of my cookies!
