My fellow blogger friend from Taste of Home Cooking is expecting a baby girl in a few short weeks!
I wanted to send them a gift card to Target, but doing only that seemed impersonal since we are both food bloggers. Looking for any excuse to bake, I decided to make her some cookies! As I was looking through my cookie cutters, I found a sheep one, and thought aww, baby sheep.
Then, the icing ideas started flowing. I ended up making a good bit, but I was picky and wanted to make sure they got the prettiest ones. My husband was anxiously awaiting the rejects, since he kept smelling almond extract throughout the day!
I made these using the recipes for cookies and royal icing from Cookie Craft. I can’t recommend this book enough! It’s so great for ideas and how-to’s. Even Bakerella recommends it! I’m not a pro, but I’m getting better with my cookie skills.
I think the mom-to-be was really surprised! Congrats! 🙂
These are so cute!!
SO cute!
Oops, I meant to comment under my new blog :-/
SO CUTE! I love Sheep 🙂
These are so adorable. They also look tasty. Mmm … I want one!
Who would be tickled by this gift? Target’s got nothing on these sheep. 🙂
These are so cute! Great job.
What an adorable idea. 🙂
Thank you SO much hon! These are not only adorable but delicious. SP and I are rationing them out. 🙂

Do you know where you purchased the sheep cookie cutter? I saw this cookie cutter on martha stewart’s webiste as well but I can’t find the cutter for sale anywhere!
Hi!
I purchased this at Macy’s a couple of years ago. It was a set of animal cutters. I don’t think they make them anymore, but I know Sur La Table carries animal cutters at their stores for $1. Here’s a link. http://www.surlatable.com/product/PRO-225870/Sheep-Cookie-Cutter Hope this helps!
