if your dough seems a little wet, 
don't hesitate to add a couple extra handfuls of flour.

I'm completely blown away -- these photographs are gorgeous and the recipe is amazing. I bet these cookies taste as delicious as they look. I can't wait for more cookie cutters to arrive in the shop!

So beautiful. I made my first cake this week. It was okay. I think I should start with cookies instead.

Summer said...

What a beautiful recipe! Quick question...if you don't mind. I've noticed you use canning jars with zinc lids for storing flour and such; do you just wash the lid in the dishwasher? I wasn't sure if it would be a safe method for the lid. :)

nikole said...

hi y'all, thank you! xo

hi summer! i don't have a dish washer, but i used too in my old place so many have been washed in the dishwasher. now though, i just do them by hand and haven't run into any trouble so far. i like the patina the lids get.

and you know, i wasn't even aware that they are zinc, it's neat to know though. thanks! xo

There are so pretty! And I love the idea of changing up a simple cookie recipe by adding ground pistachios. Yum.

These are just beautiful-and they sound so delicious! I must give them a try.

Also that illustrated recipe is a stunner-something I would love to frame and hang up in my kitchen.

dessert girl said...

You had me at pistachio, one of my favorite flavors in the world, and then the feathers on top of that...oh, my!

sarah. said...

Thank you so much for this! Looks absolutely delectable.

Ketutar said...

Dito. Except that I am a little disappointed - as I thought the icing would be feathered as well :-D
