Mother Goose Nursery Rhyme Cookies

These wafer paper cookies are based on images from the 1915 Volland edition of Mother Goose, edited by Eulalia Osgoode Grover and illustrated by Frederick Richardson. The images are gorgeous, and each one has the nursery rhyme with the illustration, so the cookies can be read before eating. I sent them to my cousin, whose little ones started school and kindergarten, respectively, this week.

I made the cookies with the largest cutter from the R & M Fluted Rectangular Cookie Cutter Set. I piped borders with a #16 star tip. My dog stole one, and I gave one to my toddler, and everyone was pleased :)

I only wish my photos were better, but I had already shipped the cookies by the time I uploaded my pictures and realized they weren't up to snuff. Live and learn!

Delft Blue Porcelain Cookies

Yesterday, my neighbor Marcia turned 60. She collects Dutch china, specifically Delft blue porcelain plates and vases, so making her these cookies was a no-brainer. The images are all from 18th- and 19th-century antique plates.

I made the cookies with the fluted-edge 2.5" round cookie cutter from the Fox Run 6-Piece Plain and Crinkled Double Sided Biscuit Cutter Set. The border was piped with a #16 star tip.

Classic Fairytale Cookies

I made these fairytale cookies for a charity auction. There are 15 different pictures of vintage fairytale illustrations from Victorian and Edwardian storybooks. I made the cookies with the middle cutter (2" x 3") from the Ateco 3-Piece Rectangular Cookie Cutter Set. The border was piped with a #16 star tip.

Train Cookies for Little Engine Drivers

My son is obsessed with all vehicles, but trains especially. It all started with Thomas the Tank Engine (or Thomas & Friends, as it's now known). He then branched out to Chuggington, and the episode of Dora the Explorer where they help a little blue train win a whistle is among our most played.

Thomas and Chuggington are, of course, under copyright, so I knew I wanted to make some cookies from vintage steam engine images. I found the perfect thing in a set of Victorian trading cards—two of the trains even look like Thomas, and the green and red engines are reminiscent of Percy and James, a brown one looks much like Bash, and a dark green one is even named Belle in reality.

I made these cookies with the middle cookie cutter from the Ateco 3-Piece Rectangle Cutter Set. The border was piped with a #16 star tip.
