Nothing soothes the soul like a good, old-fashioned cookie …
the first and best solution to all of life's ills,
as well as the sweetest reward for a job well done.

Doesn't everyone love cookies? A gift of cookies always puts a smile on any face. There does not have to be a reason and it's a sweet gesture. Sometimes as thanks for a small favor, I like to do a little something special in addition to a simple 'thank you' to express my gratitude. So I whip up a batch of cookies, wrapped in ribbons and gift bag and … smiles. The best part is the nice feeling of doing something kind for another. Give it a try … no one ever turns down a cookie and it's sure to brighten someone's day.

Hi Kathleen, Thank you for your kind comments. I was so glad to read your post about preserving autumn pumpkins and gourds. I like to keep them in the garden until Thanksgiving but a few are starting to go already. I hope to use your preservation method next fall. Thanks for the tip!
DeleteTruly beautiful cookies, all of them! WOW.
ReplyDeleteCould you actually write Thank You onto the cookie?
Would that work?
Thanks so much.
'Thank you' can be piped onto a cookie. Although, I rarely write on cookies and it's something I definitely need to practice. Thanks for dropping by and for your nice comments.
DeleteLove all these designs! I’m not artistic or creative, so tutorials are golden for me! Thanks for sharing!
