cupcake cookies

Cupcakes Take the Cake is celebrating SIX sweet years of blogging today - Happy Birthday! In honor of the big occasion, I baked and decorated CTTC inspired sugar cookies to send up to the Washington Bash.

ETA - Since Damaris wasn't the first to ask about the cookie cutters {Mom asked too, Hi Mom!} - I used a standard cupcake cookie cutter for the main shape and a small scalloped biscuit cutter to create the bite mark. Chomp, chomp!


One of my favorite touches was the cherry on top. I originally set out to find Christmas M&Ms and just pull out the red M&Ms to top the cookies. I was ecstatic to find the new Cherry Cordial M&Ms and thought they added the perfect touch to finish off my cookies.

I'm a firm believer that presentation is equally as important as taste. I printed out custom labels and tied each cookie in cellophane bags - the perfect party favor if you ask me! If you're local, be sure to check out one of the fabulous parties going on this evening.

I was at the Seattle bash on Tuesday and girlfriend, those cookies were amazing and so tasty!

My youngest didn't want his at first because he thought someone actually bit them, I had to show him the logo for him to believe that no one really did. I'll be posting about the whole party and linking back to you!
