Camera cookies

I thought about titling this post

PHOTOGRAPHING COOKIES.



Hee hee.

Actually I would have never thought to make camera cookies if a friend had not asked me to make these as a gift for a fellow photographer.  
Was that a run on sentence?
Anyway, I googled Nikon D7000 and got busy.

I am positively awful at making a circle, so I cut a couple of circle shapes out of card stock and used them to trace the shape of the lens.



Rest assured I used a food coloring marker and not a sharpie.
I rooted through all of my cutters hoping to hybridize something into a camera shape, but to no avail.  I had to make my own pattern  (once again, out of card stock) and hand cut the cookie dough.  




It is always interesting to do something unexpected and out of my comfort zone.  
Bagged and tied with bright red ribbon, they made a cute gift for the owner of a REAL Nikon D7000.





I am beyond excited to show you my next batch of cookies (calico eggs).  They just might be my favorite cookies ever!

    You are just too creative - who could eat cookies that look like little pieces of art?

    Wow, you make amazing cookies! Do you sell them (I hope you do)? I used to have a cake decorating business (really small & out of my hourse) a hundred years ago when we lived in Oregon, but didn't pursue it after we moved to AZ -- I didn't want to have to deal with transporting cakes in some of our extreme heat!

I jut baked a batch of sugar cookies and iced them but they are way simpler than those I can tell you! I just cannot get over how great those cookies look!
