Come To The Dark Side, We Have Cookies!

In honor of Father's Day, this upcoming Sunday, the festivities have begun! Today we spent the afternoon getting prepared for all of the fathers/grandfathers in our lives and then we came home and I finished up Travis's "surprise" cookies. They ended up not being a surprise because I can't drive myself to and from the house yet, so Travis knew I was baking something for him (the darn All-In-One Bakeshop gave me away!) and then I gave in and showed him the cookie cutters from Williams-Sonoma. I was planning to make them ON Father's Day but I got impatient. Aren't they super cute??? :)

The muscle relaxers have made my piping skills a little wonky (not to mention the Williams-Sonoma recipe for royal icing for cookie decorating was TOTALLY WRONG!!!) but I think they came out pretty well all the same. Travis requested a picture of the bad guys surrounding Yoda...




Happy Early Father's Day!

  2. Thanks Leslie! Next time though, I think I'll just color the dough. The royal icing just took so long! : )
