Do you like fun shaped cookies?

You're so right! I don't like sugar cookies even though I make them but these last ones I made that were shaped I ate and liked a lot. I love to dip cookies in chocolate! I'm making some tomorrow, almond cresent cookies 1/2 dipped in chocolate to post on my Etsy shop. I haven't tried the black/white ones yet, I'll have to find a recipe.

OMG... can I live in your kitchen? I never would've thought mixing the two into one cookie, wow. I bet they're amazing! I didn't think of selling them at a gas station, I've got 3 on my corner. How did you go about doing that?

That's pretty cool, what a great deal. I wish I could do something like that, it would be interesting. I'm actually thinking of contacting event planners in the area since we don't have too many and seeing if I can work something for events.

I live in a rural area. I was in there one day talking to the owner after dropping some toffee off at the post office and I had some with me. I gave her some toffee to try and she told me that I could put a basket right on the counter and sell it there. I have made 10 different varieties of toffee since then, plus the cookies, and pretzel twists with toffee in the holes and dipped in chocolate and I sell them all up there. I don't have everything at the same time though.

It is a great site and everyone is really friendly on there. You can find all kinds of things on there. It's so changed the way I look at shopping and the things I buy. I'm going to be opening up a seperate shop for the bags and I'll put that one up on my profile when I've got it. For now the other is still up there.

I agree it's so much fun to have like a party or get together or something and have treats that are nice to look at or fun and of course yummy too!

Thanks so much! What I do when I want a shape and don't have the cookie cutter is I make my own template. I'll blow something up on my laptop screen, trace it onto paper then use the paper to cut out my template from carboard and then wrap the carboard in foil. Then I use a knife hand cut the shape. It takes a bit of work but I love having unique things. There are also people who make cutters for you out of your own design, I'm going to have a few made for me later to speed up the process. It just takes a bit of practice and finding out what methods work best for you as far as decorating goes. There are kits that you can buy to decorate your own cookies with, I'm thinking of offering some on my etsy shop that come with the baked cookies, icings, decorations and instructions. I'm sure you can do the project, just have fun with it and I'm sure you'll come up with great cookies.

I agree with taste, for me desserts have to not just look great but taste amazing too. That can be hard to do given that so many icings taste like total crap but it just takes playing with recipes and getting creative.
