Gromit sugar cookies

I've been wanting to make these for a while now. It was fairly easy making those other dog cookies, I thought just a few minor changes and it will look like Gromit!! And sure enough, they do! These are cookies I will be serving for my daughter's birthday party tomorrow.


I didn't make these from scratch. You'll know why when I post about my daughter's party. It's all about the easy way right now because I am making pretty much everything for the party.

I bought a cookie mix from the store and just added egg and butter. I took about 1/3 of the mixture and added a tablespoon of cocoa powder for Gromit's ears.

I used a 2 teaspoon cookie scoop for make even amounts for Gromit's head.

The ears were 1/4 teaspoon of dough.

A semi sweet chocolate chip makes Gromit's nose.

Here's a picture of the dough.

Here they are fresh out of the oven! After baking, I added royal icing eyes. I bought these from a local cake decorating store because I'm too lazy to make them myself.

Gromit, you are soooo deliciously cute!!!!

Best Big, Fat, Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie

I made these cookies this morning. The recipe: The Best Big, Fat, Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie was found on AllRecipes.com and got rave reviews. I did modify the recipe slightly by substituting in 1/2 of the flour with whole wheat flour. I made them for a harvest festival at my church tomorrow. I'm making a couple others things...I'll post pictures later.

I haven't tried one yet, but they smell DELICIOUS!

dog shaped cookies

i found the cutest horlick dog shaped cookies on happy home bakers blog a few months ago. i've been wanting to make this for a long time but didn't know what horlick was or where to find it and i've never seen the cereal called koko crunch in the US before.

anyway, i just got back from a visit to Bulgaria and found a cereal called chocapic and they are perfect for the dog ears. i decided just to use a sugar cookie recipe. so here they are!!! i was so happy that they turned out! my niece will have her 2nd bday party on sunday, so i'll serve them then, unless my family eats them today!
here is the cereal
