Hand Painted Butterfly Cookies
— A few weeks ago, the cookie community filled newsfeeds everywhere with photos of butterfly cookies in a show support for our sweet friend Jill of Jill FCS to help her through a difficult time. It was then that I realized that I had never made a butterfly cookie* and so I created these for her. The inspiration for these cookies came from this box that I bought at Michaels. Rather than trying to make a perfectly symmetrical butterfly, I just made a side view so that I’d only have to concentrate on one wing on each cookie. I didn’t want to have to worry about making the pattern exactly the same on both sides. — Colors:
