I was in the mood to bake, so I turned to my cookbooks and the internet for inspiration. I wanted something really simple and fast. I found a recipe for butter cookies with vanilla frosting and I was sold. There were about 6 ingredients total and all you had to do was mix, drop and bake.
Since it was a pretty basic recipe, I decided to add a few things to make it interesting. I divided the dough and frosting and tried out a couple flavor combinations.
Butter Cookies with Mint Frosting and Edible Glitter
Almond Butter Cookie with Vanilla Frosting
Coconut Orange Cookies with Orange Citrus Frosting
And of course, a Butter Cookie with Vanilla Frosting (and a little sanding sugar for sparkle)

Oh my goodness, you've been a busy baking bee!
ReplyDeleteHow were the coconut orange cookies? They made my tummy growl.
ReplyDeleteThe orange cookies were really good. I added orange zest and toasted coconut to the dough and topped them with orange frosting.
ReplyDeleteThey were soft and slightly chewy. I love orange flavored treats.
