Triple Letter Score


My Father-In-Law, Eric's birthday was earlier this month, but we celebrated it late due scheduling conflicts. Some Eric tid bits-he's a kind of a quiet guy (he and I are cut from the same cloth on that one), dearly loves his wife (naturally), loves to read, play Scrabble, shop at Costco, eat interesting foods, and is a real softie when it comes to babies and children. As I type this post, I realize Eric and I have a lot of things in common. Although I'm not a Costco member, which is probably a relief for our checking account. Normally he's traveling all over the country teaching bridge inspection courses, but we were fortunate enough to spend some time with him last weekend. Last year I made him some bridge cookies. I'm going to have really brainstorm for next year's batch.

This is actually my second round with Scrabble cookies, but the first one said Happy Valentine's Day and I didn't get a picture of them. So you'll have to take my word on their cuteness. You see I jumped the gun and made Eric cookies before I realized that we wouldn't be getting together for another few weeks. Fortunately, my co-workers and my husband's co-workers don't mind (reject) extra cookies.

Special thanks to Bridget of Bake 350 for her creative use of scrabble letters.

Welcome to the World


My co-worker's mother-in-law ordered these cookies for her co-worker that just had a baby boy. She gave me creative license for the arrangement which is always fun. Even better, she thoughtfully asked that I include Baby Jonathan's older sister, Adaline. So I got to include some pink girly cookies in the order. Win win.

For all those that aren't fans not the NBC TV show, The Office, you can tune out now.

For all those that are fans of The Office, this was a win win win. And Oscar didn't even have to wear a t-shirt with a picture of babies playing musical instruments.

Special thanks to Lilaloa for her fantastic cookie cutter, which made the "Baby Boy" cookie. And thanks to SweetAmbs for her tutorial on tufted cookies, seen on the "Baby Boy" cookie. It's hard to see in the picture, but it looks like a checkerboard and makes the cookie a little bit puffy, in a good way.
