Preheat your oven to 350. Combine all the ingredients. Mix until well blended. Roll cookie dough into little balls and place onto a  cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 9-10 minutes.

- I rolled my cookies to 17 grams each. And I baked them for 9 minutes on 325.

Emergency royal icing cookie fix

So when I was making these life jacket cookies, I just outlined the cookie and then flooded it. I totally forgot that I was supposed to pipe one side of the cookie vest and let it dry, and then pipe the other side of the cookie vest, to form the line down the center of the cookie where the life jacket connects.

So because I forgot, I had to figure out how fix it. Here are some emergency cookie fixes, in case you ever need them.

Left to right: cookie A, B, C

Cookie A: As you can see, I piped a line down the center to form the two sides of the life jacket. 

Cookie B: I let the cookie dry a little bit and then I used floss and imprinted the line into the royal icing. 

Cookie C: I had one cookie left that I didn't pipe wrong. So I actually piped this guy the right way. I outlined the vest. Piped the right side. Let it dry a little bit. And then piped the left side. So it formed the correct line that I needed. 

Hope this helps!!

Naked Cake

So the trend this year is having a "naked" cake. My cake wasn't supposed to be naked. But I ran out of time to do what I wanted to do - so ta da!

Here's my first naked cake.

It was a lemon cake with luscious lemon frosting topped with fresh strawberries and blueberries.

Fun view!
