Rain's Thursday Art Date: Cookies

 

It's Thursday, so that means it's time to show my contribution to Rain's weekly Thursday Art Date.  This week the theme is Cookies.

Most cookies I have would be associated with T Stands For Tuesday.

Here are some Snicker-doodles I made to go with my coffee.  The "lid" is keeping my coffee hot.

When I want to drink my coffee, the lid becomes a holder.  I love this mug I got when I graduated from grad school.

I actually do bake on occasion, as can be seen by these peanut butter cookies I made when I hosted an art date with friends.

Then there's the time a friend and I made 17 batches of cookies.

This is only a small portion of what we made that day.

Now let's switch gears.

I created this cookies and milk journal entry for a challenge.   If you can't read it, it is: After our nap, we get cookies and milk.

Finally, this Geisha girl inspired spread included two fortune cookie wrappers and seven fortunes.
 
All photos were taken by me, all art created by me.  Bleubeard wants to know when I'm going to bake some catnip cookies. 
 
Thanks for joining me for this look back at cookie adventures I've had in the past. I am truly grateful to you, my friends, followers, readers, and lurkers for visiting.  Please also join Bleubeard and me at Rain's Thursday Art Date.

17 batches of cookies? The house would have smelt amazing, but I applaud your industry.
Love your geisha inspired piece in particular.

Those cookies all look good, you had a busy day baking 17 batches. I hope you tried them all, too. I sometimes bought little catnip cookies for my Kitty, she loved them! Hugs, Valerie

You have baked so many cookies and they are all so delicious !!!!
The lid is funny on your favorite cup and the Geisha page is fabulous.
Have a happy day, hug Elke

Your cookies look delicious. It's been ages since I baked cookies. My husband's bread is the only baking here in recent months.

Those cookies look yummy. I think they might not be the best for breakfast-smile. But they sure would taste good. And I love your geisha layout. I haven't seen that one, so it was nice to see. Have a great Thursday. Hugs-Erika

Cookies, always welcome and I will gladly take a nap if milk and cookies are promised. You can't go wrong with oatmeal and raisin. A very delicious spread today.

Elizabeth,

If DH walked into your home with all of those cookies laid out on the table , he'd probably think that he died and gone to heaven. lol That's a lot of cookies!! I'm going to be hungry for cookies after today's visits are done. We had some coconut macadamia cookies last night for dessert. I wished I still had some of the chocolate chip pecan cookies left but those went fast. :)

Curious as a Cathy

Hi Elizabeth-what a very fun post. when we were kids at home my Mom sister and I would bake up lots and lots of cookies too-bag them up and freeze for our lunches. I still love to bake cookies but just a couple batches now. that would have been a fun day baking with your friends.
I love your graduation mug, and great art too too

You are naughty, you put these just where I could see them when I was writing the Friday comment and now I want one ....well more actually! Hugs, Angela xXx

Oh my Goodness, I am impressed. Home baked cookies ... My house hasn't seen those since my children were young, really young. I stopped baking all together because I, one of the family Cookie Monsters, would eat more than my fair share before the rest of the family came home from work or school. Somehow I can't resist when the smell is in the air. Somehow my body weight would increase any time I baked. I do love your Geisha's (and their fortune cookie fortunes). I always wanted to draw a Geisha ... maybe someday if Rain's prompt gives me reason. So what did you graduate in from Grad school?
I grew up around Grad Students, but never did my schooling that way. I went to college twice ... once when everyone else did and then again years later to study what I really wanted to study ... nursing. So glad all is well with you Elizabeth ... Stay well

NatureFootstep said...

Love the Geisha girl :)

Rain said...

Hi Elizabeth! :) I love all of your cookies...that table full of cookies is very tempting! But your motarboard coffee lid is the best! What a great idea.
