In April we had four good friends have babies – all baby boys. Last Sunday we went to visit little Max. He was only three weeks old – I haven’t held such a little baby in a long time! He is so adorable! Anyway, back to the food! I made these little biscuits to take to Max’s parents. They are the standard shortbread recipe I use when I am decorating shortbread – a much firmer shortbread than the one I make when making shortbread for shortbread’s sake rather than for decorating!
I had seen these little all in one biscuits in a book, but I didn’t have a cutter, so I traced around the photo in the book and then cut the biscuits out by hand. Not being known for my cutting skills and also being known for being just a bit quick, I was quite pleased with how I did. I was also really pleased with the decorating. I actually think that these are the best biscuits I have decorated and I feel quite inspired to do a lot more biscuit decorating.
I know that I have got lots of photos of exactly the same thing, but I am really proud of these!

awww! So sweet!
How cute!
Have just got home - nearly midnight from a busy shift and thought "Wonder what Tammy has been up to" and here they were. They really made me smile with wonderment. Absolutely adorable. And you should be proud too. Cheers Raewyn

You have every right to be proud - they are without doubt the cutest cookies I've ever seen.

What a gorgeous and different gift idea ! How did you manage to do the white spots ?
These are just the sweetest wee biscuits. How did you get the white spots to meld into the blue so well so that it looks like one piece?
I did the white spots by pipiing spots onto the blue icing while the blue icing was still wet - the dots kind of sink in and give that effect that I really like
they are darling!! i'd be proud of them, too :)
