Flower and Butterfly Sugar Cookies

Not the most creative title in the world, but what are you going to do? It fits. Anyhoo, made some flower and butterfly decorated sugar cookies for an event at work. I also made some chocolate chunk cookies, but they weren’t as pretty. I made a set with more flower designs for my Mom’s retirement, but I didn’t take pictures of those.

Not that that’s why I haven’t blogged in almost two years, but whatever. 😜 Vanilla almond cupcakes with raspberry filling and raspberry frosting for a bridal shower. I also brought brownies, but I posted That recipe a few years ago. Anywho, that’s all for now. I’ll post pictures of my sweet “new” kitchen soon. Enjoy! CookieD-oh
