Cool summer snowflake cookies

It felt like Christmas perusing the cookie cutters at different shops! So I decided to take some home for my stocking this year, not to mention the chocolate rolled cookie recipe I came across to boot! Because I couldn’t wait until the end of year to make snowflake cookies, I decided they would be a cool welcome for this hot summer.

I forget how many actual snowflake cookies I made, but it was quite a bit. I really liked the dark cookie contrast to the light icing I got last time I decorated the snowflake cookies, so I decided to try it again. Here are a sampling of the finished products. Which do you like the best?

And here they are packaged ever so nicely…

Strawberry fields forever…

When I first saw the recipe (it had no pictures), I thought the rolled cookie ball was going to retain it’s shape somewhat to look like a 3-D strawberry. As it baked, however, I knew it wasn’t meant to be. They look like strawberries nonetheless and the taste is very light, flaky, and not all that sweet…pretty good. My next task is to create a strawberry cookie recipe that actually looks like a strawberry post baking!
