I just wanted to pop in and tell you that I made some cookies for the Share our Strength bakesale!
The sale will be at the Midtown Global Market in Minneapolis from 11:00 to 4:00 on Saturday.
I will be stopping by with all my little ones to donate these cookies!
These are my favorite sugar cookies with crusting buttercream roses. (recipe coming soon!)
You've seen it a million times... and now you get to see it in pastel rainbow cookies too.
I'm sorry. I cant help myself.
I do hope you will stop by and lend some support to the cause... maybe even say hi to the frantic lady with the screaming baby. (that would be me)
If you cant make it, at least try and make yourself some of these yummy cookies!
Roses just make smile, these are so pretty.

Amanda,
How truly lovely these cookies are! You have inspired me to master the piping bag. I'm "heavy handed", so I need to practice and practice until I get it right.
I will share this with ya'll, my given name is Dorothy (third generation), the Patron Saint of Roses.
Blessings to all!

these are amazing! how do you transport them though? you say the rose will crust, but i would still be afraid they would squish. would love to know :-)
Posted by: Jackie | May 14, 2011 at 09:09 PM
So neat! I just did that on French macarons a few days ago on my blog!

Beautiful cookies. I too would like to know what tip you used, I don't recognize it. Thank you so much for sharing.
Posted by: Sharon Reppert | May 15, 2011 at 04:43 AM
These are beautiful. My son's school is having a bake sale next weekend to raise money for the PTO. I think I just found something I can contribute. You are always so creative.
As a mom of four myself (one of which is also a baby) I admire how you are able to juggle it all. Enjoy each of your blessings! And thanks for sharing your treats with us!

Ohhhhh, I missed it! (I'm so close to Minneapolis too. Agh, wish I had read this sooner!)
The cookies look delicate and tasty. Very nice with the rose frosting.
It is almost too pretty to eat.
Hope the sale was a great success!

Posted by: Kimberly | May 15, 2011 at 01:32 PM
These are beautiful... no, stunning!
Posted by: Celeste | May 15, 2011 at 02:25 PM
I have now clicked on your site 3 or 4 times just to look at these beautiful cookies. I can totally imagine biting into one and taste that yummy buttercream. Maybe I have a sugar problem!
The roses are just to gorgeous, I loved them on the cakes but I really love how manageable the cookies seem. I think I'm going to have to try making them....
Posted by: Kim d. | May 15, 2011 at 04:29 PM
GORGEOUS!! Love the colors. I wish I could have stopped by and had twenty of them. I mean...a few.
Posted by: Cookbook Queen | May 15, 2011 at 07:21 PM
Oreos are good. Yours look so much better. One cookie and lots of icing - sugar rush. And they are in color. Wow. Thanks - more pounds on my hips.
Posted by: Susan | May 15, 2011 at 11:50 PM
Hi Amanda!
Those cookies look wonderful! How do you eat something that looks so pretty? Wear it as jewelry maybe?
Ha ha... when I read the title 'rose cookies' I got all excited. You see we have this snack in South India rose cookies (or achappam). My grandma used to make them at home and just the very name brings back fond memories. Here's a link to what we call rose cookies in South India. http://hubpages.com/hub/CHRISTMAS-RECIPES-INDIAN-SHORTEATS-Rose-Cookies

Beautiful, can't wait for the buttercream recipe. I've been thinking about having a bake sale (for Share our Strength) sometime in the near future and you have just inspired me tremendously. Thanks for sharing, God bless!
Posted by: Cynthia | May 16, 2011 at 08:59 AM

Posted by: Virginie Colson | May 16, 2011 at 09:34 AM
Absolutely PERFECT. I have been using that issue on my cupcakes but for some silly reason I had not thought of the cookie idea. (That is why you are the smart one) :-)
Thanks for sharing.
Posted by: Gwendolyn | May 16, 2011 at 10:11 AM
they are awesome! i tried your rose cake for my sister's birthday and it came out pretty nice (not as nice as yours). I can't wait to try these!

Would you mind posting your buttercream frosting shortly. I am in hopes to make these for my son's graduation on Thursday.
Posted by: Jayme | May 17, 2011 at 04:56 PM
Also looking forward to that recipe....want to try it soon :)
Posted by: Nancy | May 18, 2011 at 07:34 AM
I'm anxious for the frosting recipe as these would be perfect to accent the dessert table at my parents' 40th wedding anniversary party in a few weeks. Do you think these would freeze well?
Posted by: Lynae Johnson | May 18, 2011 at 08:38 AM
Just beautiful! I'm loving all of your latest baking creations!
Posted by: Jennifer Lewis | May 18, 2011 at 04:06 PM
Amanda, they're so beautiful! I can't wait for the recipe. I'm going to tuck it away for October, and then make these for my niece's birthday.
Posted by: Amber | Bluebonnets & Brownies | May 19, 2011 at 10:32 AM
These would be so perfect for the gay pride event my friend is organising! I'll pass this on.
Posted by: V | May 19, 2011 at 11:15 AM
Amanda,
I simply adore these cookies! Not only do they push my cookie button, but they also appeal to my love of all things rainbow colored. These are just amazing! I would love to know how you did them. I have an idea but am still such a novice. Your site is so inspiring! Thank you for all that you share!
Posted by: Erin | May 20, 2011 at 04:08 PM
Amanda.....just love all your beautiful & unique creations, I too can't wait for your buttercream recipe????? Thank you for all your recipes!!! <3
Posted by: Roxy | May 21, 2011 at 06:20 PM
I love these. They are perfect! I wonder if Royal icing would work so they were stackable? maybe
Posted by: Angie -- Bigbearswife | May 23, 2011 at 03:16 PM
I am in love with these cookies! So pretty! Is the frosting recipe still coming soon?
Posted by: Krysta | Jun 20, 2011 at 06:39 PM
