She'd sprinkle cinnamon sugar on the top. It was always the perfect touch.<br /><br />Then I started thinking about snickerdoodles.<br /><br />Then I thought about how tasty snickerdoodles would be with blueberries.<br /><br />And I made some today. Yum. :)Cookie Cutter Cafehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01817736719876897022noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095626388758664509.post-44375702641037919992009-10-05T20:45:00.002-05:002009-10-05T22:18:09.306-05:00Reviews UpFoodette Reviews has reviewed some of my cookies:<br /><br />http://www.foodette-reviews.blogspot.com/<br /><br />Check it out.

It turns out I placed in eight categories, not six, this year!<br /><br />In addition to the three first place and three second place finishers I knew about, I had two third place cookies that were not posted at the fair. So my red velvet cookies and the mocha hazelnut spritz cookies did better than I had realized.<br /><br />Makes me smile!Cookie Cutter Cafehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01817736719876897022noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095626388758664509.post-50682203458260908212009-09-27T20:41:00.002-05:002009-09-27T20:47:34.080-05:00New Cookies Up!I uploaded pictures of my cut-out sugar cookies to Etsy. They're up and for sale. I can do customizable football helmets for the fall sports season.<br /><br />Also! I could not resist playing with a new recipe.<br /><br />My Chocolate Peppermint Cookies are up as well. They have a chocolate mint dough, they are coated in a chocolate blend, and then sprinkled with crushed peppermint candies. Mint-Chocolate is my all time favorite flavor combination and it makes me utterly happy to have them on my store now, too.Cookie Cutter Cafehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01817736719876897022noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095626388758664509.post-75996572871811953022009-09-27T12:55:00.003-05:002009-09-27T12:58:00.572-05:00Cookie Cutters and Picture TakingI make great cut-out cookies. They're based on my grandmother's recipe. They are perfect cookies (also winners in the state fair).<br /><br />However, it wasn't until I started my Etsy store that I realized I didn't actually have any good pictures of them. Today I am strictly baking rolled, cut-out sugar cookies and decorating them. And taking pictures. And planning on foisting more cookies on my office.<br /><br />Though I may experiment with some others, too :)Cookie Cutter Cafehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01817736719876897022noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095626388758664509.post-70293269910656731782009-09-24T16:30:00.000-05:002009-09-27T12:54:57.423-05:00Cookie Book Shopping SpreeI was at my local bookstore. They were having a bargain book sale. I bought three cookbooks devoted to cookies for a total of over 500 recipes. The funny part? They'll mostly be inspiration for entirely new cookies... very rarely do I actually follow a recipe someone else has come up with.<br /><br />I may be letting my interests get the better of me.<br /><br />Ah, well.Cookie Cutter Cafehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01817736719876897022noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095626388758664509.post-55857644760367197452009-09-15T18:42:00.000-05:002009-09-27T12:54:21.548-05:00Welcome!Welcome to the blog for Cookie Cutter Cafe!<br /><br />Thank you for visiting me. I've recently started trying to sell cookies on Etsy at http://cookiecuttercafe.etsy.com. Please visit!<br /><br />I've been baking for years. It's cathartic. I bake when I'm happy, when I'm down, when I'm stressed out. It keeps me in a good mood when I'm happy and cheers me up when I'm not. I'm not too bad at it: shortly before I started my Etsy store I competed for my second year in the Tennessee State Fair. Over two years, I got 4 first place ribbons, 3 second place ribbons and 1 third place ribbon. Each in different categories. Some of these cookies were the very first posted on my store.<br /><br />(The Lemon Sugar cookies won first place in the "Fruit Cookie" category in 2008; the Gingersnaps were the first place winner in "Gingersnap" for 2009)<br /><br />I'll be blogging about both my trials and experiments and how my attempt at a cookie store goes. Please enjoy!Cookie Cutter Cafehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01817736719876897022noreply@blogger.com0
