My favourite cookies that I made again a few days ago. A friend was going down South for a birthday & wedding in the family, & her son insisted on taking these & some mini muffins for his cousins’ birthday. Got down to baking some of these attractive cookies that add colour to any table & I never tire of making them. I feel like a great painter adding colour to my canvas! Small pleasures, & very therapeutic indeed…
Hearts piled high…
The basic sugar cookie recipe is the same one that I use for ‘Smartie Cookies’. It’s a very versatile one, and works well with this recipe. For the icing, I use powdered sugar mixed with just enough water to make it thick & flowing, then colour according to requirement, and drizzle it on the cookies. I leave them to dry out overnight in trays in the oven, and sometimes give them a minute in a hot oven to get rid of any moisture (depends on the weather actually). Though a bit fiddly to ice, practice makes them better each time.
‘Wheat ,FLOUR,Flowers…& bees for company!’
This is heading as my entry for Jugalbandi’s Click February 2008…the topic for the month being ‘Flour’. The bees seem to be there for Bee…(donno how to make a Jai)!
Assorted cookies – hearts, flowers, stars, bees , leaves…

I had so much fun doing these…
