Beautiful Louise! The boxes are adorable. What is the recipe for the cookies because they almost seem as if they weren’t even baked keeps the shape so well.

I have been using the same recipe for the last five years. It never let me down. http://cakejournal.com/recipes/vanilla-sugar-cookies/

Top of the morning! So adorable Louise…how do you get the cookies so perfectly shaped considering the baking factor? I’m checking your recipes now; I’m sure you’ve covered that already. The boxes are jaw dropping!

I don’t know really. I have always used this recipe and I always get perfect shaped cookies. They never puff or lose their shape. They bake in between 15-30 mins depending on the shape (larger cookies may need a few more minutes) I must say that with the oven I use now I bake at 350 F instead of the 325 F. Another thing could also be that I never use a mixer to make the dough. You can, but I just mix it by hand.

I love the pastel colors of these cookies [and your site in general]. It’s like a peaceful, princess-y place gorgeous cookies, you make magic with sugar!

I love the cookies, but the boxes are also beautiful. You said they are homemade, can you share the directions?

Homemade = home crafted I bought some brown boxes from the hobby store and painted them with mat acrylic water paint. Decorated with some pretty ribbons and scraps.

Absolutely gorgeous but how did you make the cookie boxes Louise?

I have painted some brown boring boxes with some mat acrylic water paint and added some pretty decoration. This way the receiver will not only get something delicious to eat. They also get a pretty box that they can use
