Fall cookies...

One of my hobbies is baking, as many of you already know.

For the past year I have been learning more and more about decorating cookies and I have amassed quite a nice collection of really cute cookie cutters.

Of course, it was time to try out the autumn leaves, pumpkins and acorns.

These cookies were all experiments to see which technique I like the best.

It's all about the icing.

I ordered the acorn cookie cutter at the last minute and I am glad I did.

I think it's really cute and the acorn cookies are just a perfect size for someone looking for a nice dainty sized cookie....

.

I really like the pumpkins! The little green "vine" just adds, don't you think?

This maple leaf was made with with icing that was at the "flood" stage.

I think, for the autumn cookies, I prefer it over the cookies that has piping lines.

.

Here's the oak leaf.

I used a toothipick to deliver the various icing colors throughout the cookie.

It takes a while to do each cookie and now I understand why they cost a pretty penny when ordered.

No, I am not going into business making them.

Yes, I would consider making you some cute cookies.

And, in other big news, this was the headline of today's local paper.

I just thought I had to put it on for my family that would... uh.... find it an unlikely headline!

Stacey, this is for you, especially!

I love where I live.
