New Recipes...........Tasters will be needed!

I'm working on some new flavors/recipes. Within the next month I hope to have a tasting party, where you'll have input on picking the best recipes! My current sugar cookies are so, well............"vanilla" in the cookie flavor landscape. Currently in the works are maple, lemon, orange, and cinammon/nutmeg. Frosting will stay the same - cream cheese! I'm also fiddling with a no/low-sugar option. Please email me at toocutetoeat1@yahoo.com with feedback about these options!

1st large cookie

And did I take a picture? No. One of these days I'll learn my lesson. It was very cute. 9x13; usual cookie thickness. White frosting, multi-colored sprinkles, red big "Thank You!" with smaller words around it: "Danke," "Merci," "Gracias," "Grazi" and a blue star tip edge. And I was sneaky and pre-cut the cookie before frosting it for easy scooping. As usual, if I recreate it at a later date, I'll post a pic here. : ) And YAY for convection, which baked my large cookie evenly.

Happy 1st Day of School!

Cookie-of-the-Month Plan

I've decided to launch a cookie-of-the-month program! You'll receive a dozen cookies in two predetermined designs for $10 per month. Three month minimum (must be consecutive). Styles and colors may vary from pictures below depending on what frosting I have on hand - no special color requests. Pick up only if we don't work together; otherwise I'll bring them with me to work and you can pick them up at my desk. These guidelines are what allow me to produce them at this lower cost for you. Good cookies, simpler designs, lower price = good for everyone!

Congrats to D.H, the first to sign up - she will receive 2 months free!

I'll be targeting the middle of each month to have them available. Tell a friend! Sorry I had to post each month separately to get the pics to line up right!

Available Cookie Cutters

If you'd like me to email my list of cutters to you, please let me know at toocutetoeat1@yahoo.com. Apparently, attaching documents here isn't possible, or I'd just post it.

Convection!!!

I did it! I broke down and bought a convection oven!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It will be delivered on Thursday, and I can't wait!

It comes with three racks. I'm going to order an additional two. I can bake five, count 'em, FIVE sheets of cookies all at once.

Think of the gas I'll save! Think how much time I'll save! Think how much cooler my kitchen will be!!!!!!!!

I almost kissed the sales guy at Sears because it was so painless!

Now the only question is who's cookies will be first???
