iCandy - Sugar Cookie Edition

Happy Friday Everyone! Did you also know it's National Sugar Cookie Day? As well as the day before my Birthday? Cookies are way better to celebrate than getting older :)

I had so much fun gathering up this bunch of iCANDY for you today! Aren't all of these little works of art? As I type this I'm munching on one of these cuties {in pink to be exact, thanks Deb}, trust me it's hard to bite into something so stinkin' cute, but it sure was perfectly crunchy and tasty!!

All of these talented cookie artists have shops on Etsy and ship directly to your front door. Have fun and go ahead and treat yourself to some sugar cookies, it is a National Holiday after all!!

How SWEET?

Look at this pleasantly delicious surprise that came in the mail! Who does stuff like this? Well, actually, Lori's Place, that's who. I recently introduced you to her super fun Luau Cookies on iCANDY. She was so flattered by this gesture that she sent me one of her cookie sampler boxes.

OK, I thought her decorated cookies looked amazing, but now I got to actually taste these gems and I'm HOOKED! They arrived in just about the cutest packaging I've ever seen from a baker, each cookie individually wrapped with a little bow. These would make great hostess gifts for anyone.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to start Weight Watchers:) My personal favorite is the Chocolate Lovers Delight. It's like fudge and a cookie all rolled into one delight. Thank you Lori!

iCANDY - 39th Edition

I love all things food! If you follow me on Twitter, you will notice I frequently post links to newly found Etsy foodie shops late at night when I'm most hungry. Etsy's food category is constantly growing and at last count there were 10,128 items you could munch, snack or drink on! With backyard entertaining on the mind {if it ever stops raining} I found some new places to help make any spread more fun. ENJOY!
