Flower Cookie Round-up for May Day!

Happy May Day Everyone!
One of my favorite childhood classroom memories would be making  May Day baskets in Mrs. Beam's third grade class.  
The baskets were brown construction paper and the flowers were brightly colored tissue. We spent quite a few days making them,  and then on May 1st we secretly left them on a neighbors porch as a surprise.
Since I can't leave flowers on all of your doorsteps,  I thought I'd bring a round-up of my favorite flower cookies to your internet porch!
Enjoy!

Simply Sweet Mother's Day Cookies!

I've found a quiet little corner of the house to show you a little Mother's Day Treat.
(okay, so maybe the quiet is due to the earplugs...contractors are LOUD)

Happy Mother's Day everyone!!!


Our sad soggy little laundry room floor has turned into ripped up  wood, carpet, tile, baseboards and three giant trash bags full of wallpaper.
Ick.

But, we're in the home stretch  and we'll be back to normal in a couple of weeks.
(I really hope I didn't just jinx us) 

I made a few batches of Mother's Day cookies in the lull  before the demo started up again and these were my favorites.

They're inspired by my Faith, Hope and Joy cookies from last year.
Super simple to make.
Just a basic white cookie with an black outline and 'Mother' piped in the middle.

They would be really sweet signed by a munchkin with an edible marker instead.
Aaaaaawwwwww.



A few ribbon roses on the side with leaves.

Sweet Sugarbelle and Ali Bee's Bakeshop both have great tutorials for ribbon roses.
(I've learned sooooo much from those ladies!)


Hope you all enjoy your weekend!
I'll be here at home....
....with the contractors....
...and the growing pile of debris in my driveway...
...and the eight foot tower of sofas.
(oh my)
