Life Is Better At The Lake

Let's be real.  I cook pretty much every day, but I bake far more interesting things!  So let's catch up on some dang cute cookies......

When neighbors leave your quaint 'hood after 20+ years, you can't really be too mad when you see the gorgeous new house on a lake.  An amazing retirement home to share with all their new grandchildren!  So cookies were in order....

These cookies are proof that you don't have to slave away for days with intricate designs for a great looking platter.  Cute and easy, and I really like that there are some small cookies on this platter because a lot of folks want a sweet but not a big portion.

 So right around the going away party, a friend's daughter got engaged.  I knew I wanted to drop her off a little sweet something, so I ran with the colors I already had made, and I always keep an assortment of blanks in my freezer for occasions just like this.  The wedding has come and gone, and it was a stunner!  I know they are living happily ever after...

So 2 platters of cookies that utilized the same colors, same shapes and very different occassions and fonts.  All just a day in the life....
So, what are you waiting for?  Get in there and bake!
