Camera Cookies

I’m a member of a photography group that decided to do Secret Santa this year…  We were limited to a few dollars, so we had to be creative.  Facebook stalking to find out non-photography interests, googling for cool products, etc.  Some people got memory card wallets, lenses hollowed out and turned into cups, mini camera-shaped thumb drives, etc…  When I received a package that said “Warning: Stow-away-asaurus’ I was thoroughly confused… but when I opened it up confusion turned to happiness as I saw a set of camera-shaped cookie cutouts. I love sugar cookies, so this will give me more reason to make them.  Traveling the better part of the past month, I just now got around to being able to actually use them…. Photography never tasted so good. (Then again, it doesn’t really ever taste… hrm…)

Oh, P.S.   After I made these I had a little leftover dough… so I ate some raw (mmmm!) and made the rest into a nice big heart which I planned to surprise Colleen with in the morning (she had gone to bed).  I proceeded to forget about in the oven for 45 minutes until Colleen awoke and yelled from the bedroom, “Is something burning?!?!”.  Yea, I made a black, smoldering heart. 🙁

And P.P.S.  When making cutouts, you can’t put the doughy cookies as close together as I show in the photos of the cookie-sheet…  they spread and make one BIG cookie.  Stupid Joey..
