The other day, I saw a cookie blog and the subject was how easy it is to make patterns or lace on cookies. She showed a very easy way of doing it-almost mathematical, with a ruler, and making little holes for dots go and such. Now, I didn't have anything to make holes without breaking the cookies, I went ahead and just tried making lines and dots, as straight as I could. The first cookies are the result of that... all in all, I think I went overboard, but still, the actual piping isn't too bad, and the only regret here is that I made the pink border around the black and white lace cookie. I just thought the sanding sugar would make the line look nice, so I didn't bother to make it perfect. Come to think of it, had I used the thicker sugar, it would have looked nicer...I wish I would have thought of this before... man...

| Lace cookies-went crazy with the lines and dots! |

| My best valentine cookie...ever! |
And then I thought I would make a valentine's day cookie with another easy technique I forgot about when doing my first ones the other day...
 |
| Sprinkles! |
So that's it for today... I still have a bit of royal icing though, so I may be making other cookies in the next few days! Or something else...? Stay tuned! (By the way, not acting coy at all, I really don't know what the next project is!)
