{ red and blue }

Ever since I began my cookie-making journey, I've been gawking over a design by one of my cookie idols -- (Callye from SweetSugarBelle ... she's brilliant) lace-decorated cookies. They're so simple, oh-so pretty, and can be added to just about any shape.

I was sort of at a loss this year as far as what to get Aidan's teachers for an end-of-year gift. And I'm ashamed to admit that time sort of got away from me, and his last day of school is rapidly approaching. So I figured it was the perfect time to attempt the long-admired lace cookies. I wanted to use fun and bright summer colors, so I opted for red and teal blue on round and cross-shaped cookies.

Mine aren't anywhere near as lovely as Callye's, but they were fun to make.


And they're yummy.

Next to my graduation cookies (the best), those are the most beautiful cookies I've ever seen. And they're in my favorite color combo--turquoise and red.

I cannot imagine how long it took to make them.

I'm in awe.

And I want to eat them.

I agree with Beverly , the color combination is quite beautiful.
