A New Love: Jacques Pépin's Fast Food
Talking Him Into It - Feeding The Guy
Another Change, and Two Summer Shortcakes
« June Magazine Review | Main | Gifts for Baby »
A few days ago The Guy and I had a birthday party to go to, and since I have less money than time right now, I thougth I'd make some cookies as gifts (after all, who doesn't like cookies?) The birthday party was for our friend Emily, and I wanted to make sure to give her cookies that were a little retro and a little cute and a little classic, just like she is. This gave me the perfect opportunity to play around with some of my favorite cookies and give them a fun twist. I started by making classic peanut butter cookies, which are nice and retro, then dipped them in melted chocolate to make them a little more grownup. I also made snickerdoodles, which were The Guy's childhood favorites. I thought about using cookie cutters to give them fun shapes, but that would have wasted good dough, so I used the cookie cutter in a different way - by dipping them in colored icing (a watery mix of powdered sugar, water and food-coloring) I made cute heart shapes on the tops of the cookies, which were a hit with everyone.
