Bunnies and Carrots and Chicks! Oh My!


     Yippee for spring break! I love having the time to clean my kitchen and then to make a big cookie mess! I have all kinds of productive plans for this week, but I'm probably not going to get around to doing most of them. I guess that means the basement will wait 'til summer. :)


     These little cuties won't wait though. They're all ready for Easter, and looking for a basket to hop into! I made them with my favorite Iced Spice Cookie recipe - it's the one that I've been using for years and years. My kids grew up with these cookies, and now I want to make sure my grandson does too! :)

     
     I used a tutorial  that Callye from The Sweet Adventures of Sugarbelle posted to help me decorate these cute little guys.  If you love cookies and would like to see some fabulous ones, you should visit her blog. And then you should make some cookies. I know you'll want to!

    Very cool, Miss Betty. But since I'm not such a hot decorator, I'm more interested in your spice cookie recipe. I printed it off 'cause when I saw the date 1989 on it, I knew it must be an old favorite I really should try. Thanks so much.
