Happy Holidays 2016!

Christmas cookies are my all time favorite to make.  Not only are they a hit on the dessert table, but they double as gifts!  I’ve made Santa for a few years in a row now, and I thought about branching out, but I couldn’t not make him–he’s just too cute! This year, though, I paired him with some milk, cookies, and personalized handwritten notes.

I also made New Years cookies for the first time this year!  It’s not my favorite holiday and it doesn’t have a great color scheme so I tend to skip it.  I’m going to a party at a family friend’s house this year though and wanted to bring something special.  I think the colorful lips and balloons are a fun take on the New Years motif!

Happy holidays to you and yours!

Back to (Law) School!

Yesterday my parents dropped me off in Philly to start my second year of law school!  I couldn’t leave without making some cookies first though 🙂  While my kitchen at school is not One Cute Cookie equipped, I’m already dreaming up all the cute cookies I’ll make when I go home!

Summer Fun

I have gotten to make so many cute cookies this summer. My new all time favorite cookies though: the PINEAPPLES!  They were so easy to make, and so adorable!  Best of all–they are mini!  Perfect for a bite sized treat 🙂  

Happy Birthday America!

There is nothing I love more than combining two of my passions: cookies and calligraphy.  These 4th of July cookies were SO fun to make for that reason.  This year, I even tried my hand at a cake!  The fireworks cookies were actually from last 4th of July–they were the favors for my sister’s Independence Day […]

Grad Parties Galore

No graduation party is complete without some appropriately themed cookies.  The past two summers have been FULL of graduation cookie requests–from high school to college to nursing school grads!  My favorite to make were the nurse faces–I just love her cheeks!

Belated Birthday Cookies

I love getting to make someone’s birthday extra special by making them cookies!  I’ve been busy with lots of birthday party requests lately–from Star Wars to Angry Birds to carousel cookies!

Ghosts of Holidays Past

Because I’ve missed so many holiday posts on here, I decided to put together some of the cookies I made for random holiday over the past months!  Enjoy–check out my bunny cake from this Easter!

Christmas in July

I can’t believe it’s been so long since I have posted anything on here!  Since you last heard from me, I have graduated from UConn, started law school, and made lots of cute cookies.  I’ll be busy updating the blog–in the meantime, check out some of the holiday cookies I’ve made while I’ve been gone!

Birthdays and a Bachelorette

I’ve had lots of birthday parties to make cookies for and I love that they’ve all been so different! Funny story–when I went to make Mickey and Minnie, I realized that the cookie cutters I had ordered were about an inch wide (ugh!) and I ended up having to cut them all out by hand. […]

A Fall Wedding

I ended up loving these wedding cookies–the bride’s colors were red and champagne!

Baby Shower Cookies (and my first cake!)

This September, my adorable niece Madelyn Grace was born into the family! Here were some of the desserts at her shower:

Throwback to Summer

Because I’ve been so terrible at keeping this little blog updated, I’m throwing it back to a few of the cookie sets I made this summer–the lobster may be my favorite!

Happy 4th!

I love any reason to wear red, white, and blue so naturally the 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays.  In fact, I got the cutest patriotic headband from Target that I’ve been holding on to for about a month; I cannot wait to finally break it out for all the picnics this […]

For the Little Prince

How cute is a “little prince” themed baby shower?! Too cute.  I was so glad I got to make the cookie favors for the event! Thanks, Kristina!
