2 sticks margarine

3/4 cup sugar

1-1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp sea salt

2 cups unbleached all purpose flour

1 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 cup cocoa powder

In stand mixer with dough hook mix together margarine, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Add in flours and cocoa powder 1 cup at a time until fully mixed. Bake at 350 for 8 to 10 minutes or more depending on cookies size.

These cookies are made with Wilton mini cookie cutters and this recipe made 100 mini cookies. The cookies are iced with royal icing.

Soft, chewy, and bite sized!

2012 Graduation Cupcakes

It's Finally Here!

Today is the day, by the time you are reading this it was yesterday!

My son graduates from high school! It has been an amazing journey and when he smiles, I still see that little boy graduating from preschool and he is still just as sweet!

The years have gone by fast and so has his senior year! I had a huge cake planned for this spectacular occasion, time just didn't permit.

So we have had little sweets here and there to celebrate!

This time it is all about you!

Congratulations Steve!

~Love, Mom

2012 Graduation Cookies

This is my very first cookie order!

Deja Vu? Kinda. Less than a week ago, with the help of my 2 daughters, we made Graduation Cap & Diploma Cookies pretty much just like these. I sent a few of the cookies home with one of my son's friends that is also graduating and his mom asked me to make some for them! I can't tell you how excited I was that someone wanted my cookies! Okay, I get email cookie orders pretty much weekly, but they are usually out of state and I decline. But now, who knows? Maybe this could be the start of something new in my life?
