Sunday Sweets: Hand in the Cookie Jar

It's National Cookie Day!

Let's celebrate it by taking a look at some wonderful cookies.

 

We'll start with a cookie of Cookie Monster eating a cookie.
(It's like Muppet Inception.)

(By Raspberri Cupcakes)

Cookie Monster's a macaron, a meringue-based, filled cookie that's crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, currently made in every possible shape, flavor and color.

Like...
(drum roll, please...)

 

Disney Tsum Tsums!
[swoon]

(By Le Sucre de Patisserie)

Honestly, I don't know whether I should eat them or adopt them, but I DO know someone better give me tsum soon!

 

Of course, macarons are just one kind of cookie.

I found so many fabulous cookies, it was really hard to choose which ones to feature.

Really. Hard.

You see, there are cookies that look like they ought to be framed:

Cookies that look like sliced rocks;

And cookies so cute you can't see the forest for the squees.

(By Sugar Coma Cookies)

 

You can get cookie puzzles...

(By Yankee Girl Yummies)

(I guess you'd start eating the edges and corners first, right?)

 

...and gingerbread cookie wedding "cakes."

(There's a tutorial. Are you feeling adventurous?)

 

And I don't know about you guys, but I want to plant this and see if it grows.

(By Sugarbliss Cookies)

Those succulents just look so... so... succulent.

 

Of course, if desert plants aren't your thing, how about a beautiful "needlepoint" heart?

(By Cookie Connection member Teresa Pekul)

Even the "mesh" is hand-piped!

 

For those who dream of adventure, here's the "Traveling Girl," inspired by a handmade doll.

(By CakesDecor member The Cookie Lab)

Don't you want to tag along, or at least meet her tailor?

 

You know, there are so many great cookies, I could just keep adding more and more.

Still, I guess it would probably be wise to stop.

(By Sword's Sugars)

What? You want one more? Well, WHO am I to deny you?
(Owl pay for that pun later, won't I?)

 

OK. I could never say no to you guys...

Let's end with this gorgeous cookie, shall we?

(By Mézesmanna)

Everything is piped freehand, with no stencils.
(Here's a link to a comparison of the cookie and the tablecloth that inspired it.)

 

I hope we've inspired you to have some cookies for National Cookie Day!

Have a Sweet day!
