Mini Crown Cookies {Her Royal Highness Baby Shower}

Today is a very special day here at The Cookie Puzzle!

I am joining 14 other bloggers at a Virtual Baby Shower...not just any baby shower, a 

Her Royal Highness Baby shower!

Who is the Baby Shower for?

This Shower is for Callye of Sugarbelle and Georganne Lilaloa, you know,

THE COOKIE QUEENS!

SUPRISE Callye and Georganne!

I made mini crown cookies for everyone.  Well, not really for everyone,
this is where the VIRTUAL party comes in, so just pretend that after
reading this post, you have a cute little jar or mini crown cookies and Sixlets to
take home with you.  Use your imagination.

to be little cookie princesses.

Our Lucky Charms..in cookie form

Happy Friday Cookie Lovers!

I was honored to be asked to be part of

group project coordinated by the

amazingly sweet Melissa of

Simply Sweets by Honeybee.

She asked us each to "cookie' our
lucky charm.

Cool idea huh?

I went right to work..

Trying to find the perfect way
to "cookie" my lucky charm.

But there was a problem,
I really could not think of anything to do.


I don't have a lucky necklace, or spoon.

I don't have a lucky rabbit's foot or pen.


Ruh Roh!

Shaggy..we have a problem.

So...I did what any good cookier does,
I turned to my friends.

After 8 million text messages, emails and Facebook messages,

I came to realize that I DO have a lucky charm.

Something that when I put it on...

I have super human powers.

I have the ability to bake and decorate
mass amounts of cookies in a single weekend.

I have the ability to work a full time job,
take care of a home, a husband,
and a very special son.

I have the ability to ability to fight evil!

Well...not really...but you get the idea!

So...what is my lucky charm?

 Aren't I just styling?

It is my Wonder Woman Shirt!

Collin got me this shirt....I am not sure why,
but he and his dad went shopping one day, and he said it would be
perfect for me...to wear when I decorate.  He was going
through a "super hero" phase, and was kinda sorta obsessed with all thing
super hero.

So...I thanked him and hung it up.

Then..one day, I had a meeting at his school...and I was so
nervous, major changes were coming..and I was a wreck.

So...I did what any women does..I asked my son to pick out
my clothes for the day.

Imagine my surprise, when he came out of my closet with this shirt!

But, like a good mom, I put on my shirt, and went to the meeting.

And the meeting went GREAT!

I was happy....Collin was happy...the school was happy.

SO...from that day forward...It became my

LUCKY SHIRT!

When I have to decorate a stressful cookie,
I wear this shirt.

When I have to bake and decorate
50 dozen cookies in a single weekend,
I wear this shirt.

When I have to work all day,
only to come home, fix dinner, and work on cookies,
I wear this shirt.

So....Now I had a lucky charm...

and now..my lucky charm is a cookie!

Look at all the other

President's Day Collaborative Project

Happy President's Day!

I am a complete History Buff..

I love everything about history,

especially Political History,

so when Anne of Flour Box Bakery,

sent out an invitation to join in on a

Collaborative Project to celebrate

President's Day, I jumped right in.

She asked 44 cookiers to

create 44 cookies representing all

44 President's of The United States of America.

WOW...what a fun project.

When I got my assigned President, I was a

little concerned, he is not that famous, he did

very little while in office, but I researched him, and

did my best to make him interesting.

He was not elected President, but became President,

when the elected President, Willam Henry Harrison, died,

just one month into his term.

He was often called "His Accidency" because he bacame

President by Accident.

His first wife, Letitia, died, during his term in the White House.

He remarried, while serving in the White House.

He had more children then any other President in history, 15 children,

While it did not become "official" until Noverber of 1845,

Tyler was instrumental at getting the state of Texas, into the Union.

Talk Nerdy to Me - A Group Project

Happy Valentine's Day Cookie Lovers!

I was asked to be a part of a 

group project, coordinated by the super talented

Lene of Not Your Everyday Cookie

I love doing group projects....they get my creative juices flowing,

but if I am being totally honest,

they scare the heck out of me!

I get super excited when I get the email.

Then...I look at the list of people who are also invited.

Then I totally freak out...knowing in my heart, 

that when the project is posted,my cookies will be the

lamest cookies of the bunch.

Then I totally start stalking the other participates on Instagram,

trying to get a sneak peak of what they are doing.

Then I ask everyone I come into contact with what I should do.

Then I search Google for like 18 million hours.

Then I cry.

Then I eat a jar of Nutella.

Then I pull my act together.

And do what I always do.

I ask COLLIN!

He is my go to

"Idea Guy"

The theme of this project was

"NERD/GEEK VALENTINE COOKIES"

So.....I made a "Nerd Cookie"
