WOWWWWW………I did exactly as you taught. Mine look like a 3 year old did it. Then I remembered something………………I CAN’T DRAW.
I’m so glad you have a talent and you share it. I only wish you also blogged so more hints might be shared with us “3 year olds”.

I knew it would be a process, and a process it was! With a fantastic, wonderful, beautiful result! I’d love to put this puzzle together, but one of the pieces may be missing….I’m just saying! I once sent out a puzzle invitation….how about a cookie puzzle invitation?? I know you would make it brilliant!! 🙂 !

You are silly, Kristina! About the zester, I really only do that for cookie puzzles simply to achieve a nice, straight line between the “pieces.” I take the zester and lightly file down the sides of the cookie just in case they spread a little (although, with LilaLoa’s fabulous vanilla sugar cookie recipe, or her chocolate cookie recipe for that matter, there is minimal to no spreading). I am a “bag lady” — I pipe everything with pastry bags. I like to trim the disposable pastry bags down to about 6” so they are not so cumbersome and then use an icing cartridge (using Press ‘n Seal wrap) so everything does not get too goopy and messy. I re-use my disposable bags over and over and over again — so much for the word “disposable”! The canning jars, well, I have a ton of them and I like that I can see the colors through the glass and they are just so darn pretty when they are filled with icing!

In reply to Cookie Friend (Diane). Diane, I am SO glad they make you smile because I do this simply to bring a little joy into the world. I have taught a couple of friends and family members — it’s always fun spreadin' the love through cookies!
