Emmy, my granddaughter, turned TWO!

Time is flying…..we notice it most when we watch these wee ones grow crazy fast!

I made gluten free and sugar free cookies for my sweet Emmy-Lou-Who. Despite the changes in the recipe, she loved them!

There’s nothing better than making cookies for the ones you love. Take the time. It is worth it!

Her first bite…..

Then it was time to lick the sugar-y icing off the top of the cookie….

And finally…..Emmy wanted to use a fork. So Momma broke it up into pieces for her. :)

An Elmo alphabet set…..Emmy loves Elmo!

Emmy loved the doll stroller that Grandpa & Grammy got her. :) ❤️

Emmy's Flower-y 1st Birthday Cookie Collection

Emmy (my second grandchild and first granddaughter) had her first birthday recently. It was a small gathering of family to celebrate, but we celebrated her in a BIG way. She's a precious sweet doll who manages to make everyone smile.

Her mom wanted a pink flower theme to celebrate her birthday. I pulled out all the stops to make the cookies as flower-y and pink as possible. 💗

I had some new tools to try out in the process, so they were fully incorporated into the design.

Both of my grandchildren haven't had refined sugar yet, so for Emmy's birthday, I modified my sugar cookie recipe and made it gluten and sugar free. The cookies turned out great!

Sadly, I attempted to make a "glaze" that was sugar free......but since sugar is the predominate ingredient (powdered sugar and corn syrup), the substitutes were no match at all. I was hugely disappointed. I ended up decorating the cookies with regular sugary glaze and left some of the cookies plain for the grandbabies. In the end, it worked. 

I'm still on a quest to find a way to decorate cookies without the sugar. I'll let you know if I ever conquer that one. 🙃

Happy Birthday my sweet Emmy Lou Who. I love you so much!!!

Baby Girl Arrival Decorated Cookies

My second grandchild, first granddaughter, Emmaline Kate, arrived in May. It was such a special day to celebrate her, my daughter-in-law, and my son. Since I knew we would travel to be there for Emmy's appearance, I made cookies. I know.....shocker. haha

It's truly amazing how people respond to cookies. It is a universal "happy" for everyone. Even if they don't eat them, they love seeing personalized cookies for special events. And of course, I love making them. It really sets each occasion apart.

Here's our little sweetie, Emmy Kate and her daddy and mommy. And yes, Grammy got a photo in there too. I love that little girl like CRAZIE!

Her arrival cookies match her elephant themed shower cookies fairly well. Here's the blog post of the shower in her honor.
