that over the last couple of weeks I have been paying more attention to the cookie photos posted here on CC...and I just had to mention how beautiful they are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To all of those CC'ers out there who make, cut, decorate and arrange cookies...my hat's off to you!! What a work of art!! They are almost too beautiful to eat!!

Aren't they somethin! Most of my cookies are the old-fashioned sprinkled, balls or bars types.

You are so right. The cookies posted on this site inspired me to branch out from cakes and pay more attention to cookie art. My cookies aren't as good as those posted by some of the pros on this site, but they give me something to aspire to. Thanks CC!

they are awesome...but don't they take longer to do?
i would love to try my hand at it, but it seems so time consuming.

I agree. I don't do cookies because no one here knows what they are, but I recently decorated a cake with decorated cookies, and have a new respect for the cookies makers among us.
