Fourth of July cookies

I was trying to make Fourth of July cookies, but the colors I used were not bright enough (this happens when you use regular food coloring instead of cake decorating gel colors). 

Cookies ready for delivery

Our Easter cookies are ready to be delivered to my daughter Cassandra's class.  Actually, I will be sending them on the bus on Friday morning. Hopefully, they don't break (cross my fingers).   I only had one baggie so I just packaged the lamb and tulip cookie for our bus driver, Yolanda.

Decorated Easter Cookies

My friend Monica gave me a cookie decorating lesson last week and this is what I made.  After she showed me how to decorate, I went home with a batch of cookie dough.  A week later, I finally had the chance to bake and decorate.  I had so much fun!

Here is a close-up of the cookies.  I'm still learning how to keep my hand steady - drinking coffee prior to decorating probably doesn't help.
