As much as I torture pride myself with the rigors of particular cookie concepts, sometimes it’s the simplest of cookies that I like best. Straight forward. Easy-ish to frost. Forgiving of air pockets and color bleeding. Modestly sweet with a nice impact. This is the way cookie decorating should be!
Daisies are always at the top of my list when allowed. This teeny flower cookie cutter is one of my faves to use.
When you have a LOT of cookies to make at one sitting, for me, this is the way to go.
Granted, stacking one cookie on top of another may be a bit big to bite into, but maybe you just rip it apart like an Oreo. I can’t deny I love the way the 3D looks.
Adding a little shimmer doesn’t hurt either. The luster is there, it just doesn’t want to show itself on pictures. Maybe if you squint reeeeeeealy hard, you can see it…
Easy cookies. Short post. ‘Nuff said.

Those are beautiful, and they look really delicious!!! 😉 Seriously, I love them, orange is my favorite color, I like the sugar centers, and I like the photos too, especially the stacked platter shot. Perfect for a party display!
I love daisies! They are one of my favorite flowers (next to daffodils…have you done daffodils yet? Maybe next spring…) and the fact that you captured them to beautifully makes me smile! Beautiful work! And, in response to your comment on my blog, it would rock if we were neighbors, however, I don’t think our artsy selves would accomplish anything but looking at delightful color combos and scouring the internet for inspiration! Lol! 🙂
Maybe we could cook dinner together, so we’d feel like we were being productive. 🙂 Thanks Miss!
They looks beautiful!! Congrats for your work. I’m Silvia from Barcelona, Spain. My blog is http://www.thesylviasbox.wordpress.com
Best!
Thanks Sylvia! I’ll come and check out your blog now! 🙂
I adore the 3D cookies and yours are simply beautiful! Daisies are my second favorite flower right after sunflowers:)
Oooooo, sunflowers! They rank right up there, especially in cookie form. 🙂
I love the look they are so clean and neat looking. You inspire me to do more simple work that’s easy, but looks fantastic!
These are so clean and pretty! Just stunning.
Love the orange & white! So cheerful 🙂
This is just great. Really special-looking cookie with simple techniques – I am totally doing this next cookie project
Thanks, Angela! It’s so easy and pretty to boot! 🙂
I love your blog! Are these shortbread or sugar cookies if i may ask? Or maybe neither haha
Hi Mary Ann! It is a Martha Stewart sugar cookie recipe, but I replace a 1/2 C. granular sugar for 1/2 C. brown sugar. It keeps the cookie softer longer, I think. Any roll out recipe would work though!
