COOKIES

[potato_head]

My relatives are now using my facebook to make baking requests for holidays where they will see me.

4th of July baking plans: sugar cookie sandwiches (half batch red, half batch blue; white almond buttercream filling), chocolate sugar cookie sandwiches (peanut butter buttercream filling). I think they'll all be stars with stars cut out the center (like I did for some of my sugar cookie sandwiches) but maybe I'll also do some circles with stars cut out? And I'll bake the stars I cut out as well, with sugar sprinkled on top.



Also...okay so awhile back I watched We Bought a Zoo. Am I the only one annoyed by the tendency for movies like this to make the inspector into the bad guy? These regulations are in place to keep the animals safe and happy. As a zoo, shouldn't that be your primary goal as well? IDK I think zoos that cut corners are a bigger problem than potential inspectors on power trips.

Truuuue. It's hard to get good, dark colors out of the icing without it tasting like food coloring though (I need some nice food gels...) so I'll be able to get a richer color if I color the cookies and go with white frosting.

It was alright. There...wasn't really much of a plot...I mostly put it on to have something to watch while baking, and it was good for that xD but there wasn't much substance. It was cute, though.
