Great Cookie Caper Teaser

Today I started my Amish Sugar cookies. They are really yummy sugar cookies that stand alone just fine, but I decorate them with a really fun technique I found in a magazine years ago. I did the boring part today.
















I made gazillions of balls of dough.
















And then used the usual "special equipment" and "finesse" technique (clean, plastic drinking cup dipped in sugar, and smushing!!) to flatten the balls.

They baked into nice flat round surfaces which will serve as a palette for decorating.















But for now, they get stored carefully and hidden away from the CookieMeister, who happens to think they are delicious at this point.....

Stay tuned for when the magic happens! I enjoy decorating these cookies! (but it probably won't happen until the weekend....)

Look at these cute ladies who came to the Quilter's Shop Hop on Sunday at Leah's!!














Thanks for sending the picture, Yvette!

I tried to start a group of Red Hatters a few years ago but it never got past the "good idea" stage...... I was trying to gather a group of transcriptionists at that point.....and since most of my "peoples" are far flung all over the country....that wasn't going to work.

Now that I'm taking Teacher Extraordinaire's (Janet Salcido's) classes and making lots of new quilting friends, maybe I can get a group together! At least the group could have more than just Karene and myself in it! I already have a name picked.....teehee! Of course, Spring Chickens Pink Hatters would be very welcome and wanted!! (that would be you, Yvette!!)

Happy Tuesday!
