It’s so easy and sooo impressive looking! This time, however, I used a super easy marbling technique I found on this site. I usually use it with regular royal icing and decorate pretty snowflakes and santas for Christmas. It’s a cut-out sugar cookie, but because it’s an upgrade to a powdered mix, you can spend more time decorating and less time measuring out ingredients! Also, the texture is such that you don’t even need to refrigerate before rolling out. The first is a semi-homemade cookie that I found years ago and often use it for beautiful Christmas Cookies. I’ll share one today and one in a few days. There are a couple cookie recipes I’ve been meaning to share. While it’s true that it’s not as exciting of a holiday if you’re unattached, it’s a perfect excuse to eat chocolate no matter what your relationship status :) I know a lot of people aren’t fans of Valentine’s Day. This one was done in memory of Charlie, who passed away recently from cancer :( I really want to expand to animals other than dogs, but so far that’s all I’ve done. I’m really trying to build up a pet portrait side business (see the “Pet Portrait” tab on my page menu). The second thing I want to share with you is another doggy painting I completed. (You can also see the video he made for our wedding here.) Lost Keys from Nathaniel Carota on Vimeo. It’s equal parts suspenseful and amusing, and I hope you enjoy it :) It took a long time to finish editing, but I can finally share it with you. If you’ve been following me since the beginning, you know that a couple years ago, I catered lunch for Nate and his little film crew while he filmed a short film he wrote, directed, and acted in.

I actually made these cookies months ago for Nate’s friend’s birthday. These Chocolate Brownie Cookies though, like brownies, use melted butter!
