Baking Butterflies

Butterfly cookies sugar cookies

Hi, friends!

I’ve been in survival mode the past week between morning sickness and pregnancy exhaustion, but yesterday I felt a little better so I decided to make something beautiful to celebrate!

Sugar cookies are one of my favorite things to make when I’m craving something sweet and I’m feeling creative. I love that a cute cookie cutter and a bit of icing can come together to create edible art!

This butterfly cookie cutter is one of my favorites. I love the stamp effect it creates on the cookies and the super clean edges.

I make a standard sugar icing for cookie decorating (just meringue powder, powdered sugar, cream of tartar + add water to desired consistency). I purchased a huge pack of these icing bags awhile ago and just grab one out when I need it. I don’t even use piping attachments most of the time—simply fill and cut the tip!
