Prom Cookies

The completion of my new baking pantry came just in time
because on the day the doors were installed I received four
requests from friends... All of them in need of cookies!
The first request came from a sweet mom calling for her son who
wanted to employ a cleaver way of asking his girlfriend to their prom!
I originally ordered this fancy dress cookie cutter from CopperGifts.com
with cookies in mind for the Ranger's girl and the ladies she works with,
to thank them for their kindness during his recent visit... However, I also
think it's the perfect shape for the prom dresses dancing in my head!
Ah, Prom...
Seems like just yesterday I was picking up my own prom dress!
And, it seems like only five minutes ago that the
Ranger and his brother were headed off to their proms...
 It's true what they say... Time does fly when you're having fun!
Speaking of fun.... I found it difficult not to dance around
the kitchen a little once these cookies began to come to life!
I hope you picked up this set of cookie cutters
by Neiman Marcus for Target last Christmas!
Because the loafer is perfect!
By the way, we moms must stick together; therefore, I added an extra
cookie to the set... For the most important girl in prom king's life!
So... What do you think?
Think she said yes?

  1. I ordered the Target set of cutters online, free shipping in January when they were 70% off! =) LOVE THEM. Your cookies are gorgeous as ever-that dress is amazing! And your pantry...I WANT IT ! But alas have no room for a pantry...I have to settle for the finished room in the attic haha.
