Talk Like a Pirate...with cookies....

In honor of Talk Like a Pirate Day (ok, they are for a birthday party, but really, who needs an excuse to do anything pirate-y?) I made Jack Sparrow's tricorne hat cookies! I thought they turned out quite cute, and pretty easy at that:) The recipe was taken from Diamonds for Dessert, which you must check out!

(ok, so these are the before cooking shots. I didn't actually get any cooked shots. I fail. I know.)

Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies

My cousin's 5 year old daughter has decided to host a bake sale in order to buy a cow for a family through Heifer International (so cute, right?). Not only am I excited to help her and a family in need, I'm also excited to bake up some goodies!

Last week I made waffle iron cookies, one of my favorites from childhood. This week I decided to try a recipe for bakery-style cookies, the recipe for which can be found at Newlywed Food Adventures (she had me hooked at the picture!)
