Wow, am I behind on blog postings! I made these cookies (at least a month ago) for my friend's daughter's 1st birthday party. The little girl is such a cutie pie, and she has since earned the nickname, "Peanut" from everyone she knows. Therefore, her mom decided Peanuts (and all things Charlie Brown) was to be the theme of the party. After some thinking, we decided that this design would be the best favor to hand out.
(Maybe symbolizing the end to a good party? :)
I used a house cookie cutter and trimmed off the pointy top. I didn't realize just how big this cookie cutter was, though...it required 3 batches of cookie dough to make the requested 80 cookies...woah. I outlined and flooded the cookies all in red, and then free-handed a white Snoopy dog on top. He's actually just a bunch of little lumps, and after doing 80, I sort of got the hang of it.
I re-outlined Snoopy and his house in black to make the colors really pop. I thought about my next step for awhile, but since these were cartoons originally, I used a black food marker pen (as opposed to more icing) to sketch in the details, giving it a more hand-drawn look (since it was!).
I bagged and tied them with with a red ribbon to finish them off.
A fun project for sure, and although we had to leave the party before the favors were passed out, it sure seemed that Miss Peanut was having a great time.
Best wishes to the birthday girl!
