Martha Stewart’s Cookies

July 31, 2010 By Spoonful of Sugar - 16 Comments

Recently I bought Martha Stewart’s Cookies from the Book Depository with my pocket money. I love the Book Depository as it has free worldwide shipping and the prices as so much cheaper than buying books here in Australia. It is a great baking book featuring 175 cookie recipes, as well as tips and tricks, and ideas for packaging.

Today I made the cover recipe “Chocolate Cookies” . These rich cookies contained Dutch cocoa powder and were rolled in sugar before baking. These cookies would taste great with a glass of milk.

I plan on making many more of the recipes in the book so stay tuned!

My Mum made the Lemon Squares this week. She used her cricut machine to embellish some for gift giving.

Sharing a closer look at the Handy Drawstring Pouc Sharing a closer look at the Handy Drawstring Pouch today — a sweet little project that’s as practical as it is pretty. I stitched this one in the blue and gold colourway of the Tilda Songbird collection and love how the soft watercolour florals shine in a small make. The pouch features cleverly shaped panels (with no boxed corners), stands tall when in use, and folds completely flat for storage. It’s also reversible, which makes it such a fun and versatile sew.   These little pouches are perfect for organising your sewing room, gifting to a friend, or popping into a project bag.The pattern includes three sizes, and you can find it in both my Pattern Store and Etsy shop. Comment HANDY and I’ll send the link straight to your inbox.A big thank you to @tilda_australia for gifting the beautiful fabric.#tildasongbird #drawstringbagpattern #aspoonfulofsugardesigns #tildafabrics #sewingproject
