We made these cookies for Anna's birthday party and a couple of people have asked for the recipe so here it is . . .
I love this sugar cookie recipe. It is so yummy.
Cream: 1 cup butter, 2 cups sugar, and 4 eggs
Add: 1 tsp. almond extract, 1 tsp. vanilla, and 1 cup sour cream
Sift : 1 tsp. backing powder, 1 tsp. baking soda, 1 tsp. salt, and 5-6 cups flour
Refrigerate overnight
Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes
(My dough is still kind of sticky when I put it in the fridge. Then when I take it out of the fridge and roll out the dough with flour it seems like the dough ends up just perfect!)
We made 2 circles: one for the body and then we cut the other one in half for the wings. We frosted one brown and once red. Then we put black m&m's on the red cookie and then put it on top of the brown cookie. We then put a bite size Oreo for the head with licorice string for the antennas.
The kids loved making these. Happy Cookie making!!

Too cute! Annika loves buzzing like bugs so she will love this. Truthfully, I just hope she'll focus on what it is before she attacks.
Those are such cute cookies, I will definitely have to try them out! I also love your cakes, do you use molds? What's your secret, Melissa?
Those are adorable! I would love to have a bug party for Olivia next year, that is if she isn't so scared of them:) She freaks out if a fly lands on her! I'm afraid I must've created this monster...
Yes, I use molds. I am not that creative! Williams Sonoma has the cutest cake pans.
These are seriously cute. I can't wait to try these.
Those are so cute - I'll definitely have to try them for Haley's birthday. How fun - you are so creative!
