SWIRL MAH COOKIES

I MADE COOKIES



So these are sugar cookies; I split the dough in half and colored half blue and half purple. The blue came out rather turquoise but I figured that would probably happen. Same icing as always, although I made it a bit on the wet side this time because I wanted to be able to see the colors through the icing a bit.





I just painted the icing on. The ones without icing were sugared before baking.

Here's a list of the cutter shapes I used, SEE IF YOU CAN SPOT THEM ALL: snail, butterfly, dog, cat, bird, star, crab, turtle, double-heart





The round cookies I made by laying one color dough on top of the other, rolling them out together into a sheet, then rolling them up together (like a jelly roll or something). I then put the roll into the fridge to chill a bit, then cut it with a (very sharp) knife into slices.

Tripper saw me taking pics and wanted to help.





HE GOT A COOKIE





ETA UNRELATED THINGS

I am super excited because [livejournal.com profile] beasts_and_men is officially my boyfriend partner people now

(And yes also still [livejournal.com profile] anobjectinspace just so there is no confusion)

Second thing, why do I hear fishercat noises outside, it isn't fishercat season here yet 6 n 9 goddamn I hope it's not like, a predatory faerie or something

Actually to be honest that would be exactly as terrifying as a fishercat so I really don't care I just hope whatever it is goes away
