I found this really cute recipe for Spiderweb cookies and I thought I'd give it a try! I used my regular sugar cookie recipe, iced the cookies with royal icing, then dyed some icing brown (the store was out of black). After icing the cookies, I made a spiral with the brown icing. I used a ziploc baggie with a TINY part of the tip cut off because I couldn't find my decorator's tip. It works just fine. After making the spiral, use a toothpick or skewer to make lines coming from the center all the way to the edge, like this...
Then voila! Spiderweb cookies!
Royal icing hardens as it dries and has a really nice, smooth finish.
On another note....
A few weeks ago, when Nancy was visiting I decided to rearrange the living room. Grady's toys were overtaking the living room so we decided to make the front area a toy area for him, and have a "normal" living room. Now he has his own play area and I think the living room looks MUCH larger!

YUMMMMM, I wish I had one of those cookies right now! O.K. half a dozen!
The living room looks great! You really do have so much more room.
The cookies are awesome and the living room looks great! That gives you more seating too! I like it!
Okay Mary Grace, those cookies look adorable AND delicious. I have seen those somewhere before and wondered how easy/difficult they were. Yours turned out absolutely ADORABLE!!! We might just have to make some. :o)
Your house is BEAUTIFUL, by the way!!! LOVE IT! I need you to come over and help me out with some decorating :o)
Nice job on those cookies! Baby toys do have a tendency to take over! A and E's end up all over the floor everyday.
I haven't tried the cookies yet but I was going to today until I remember that Beau and I were supposed to start our diet today. Really, the week of Halloween??? Bad idea!
I'm not sure what Santa has on his list for Grady this Christmas, but I really hope it's some toys. I mean, really, how does that boy survive with such few toys to play with?!
