Cupcake Cookies

Lately I've been following two blogs that are big on decorated cookies.


So I had to make some...of course. My sister, Chloe, happened to be over, and she helped me decorate. It was a lot of fun, she learned some stuff, and I got to practice decorating. I finally used the super cute cookie cutters Jimmy got me for Christmas. Win-win!


Mmm, creamed butter and sugarrr....


I used a chocolate sugar cookie recipe from Bake at 350. So delicious! Shh, don't tell anyone, but I was happy with the cookie alone without frosting!

Hello, cupcake!

I also used a royal icing recipe from Bake at 350. I'm really not sure how I feel about it....it's easier to work with than the royal icing recipe I use for sugar flowers. But that also makes it harder to work with, because it's pretty runny. Icing experiments are in my near future!

At least it tastes good! I used a few drops of almond extract. I love almond extract, it reminds me of Christmas.


Overall, cute and tasty fun. I know what I need to work on for my next batch!


Until next time!
