Fish Cookies





Fish cookies. I used ground tuna in place of sugar for these fishy cookies. Haha! Ok, that one glass of white wine was enough for me. Let me just say that I know I have no frosting skills whatsoever! Jordan said they look like Shrek feet. But my Violet girl thought they were all pretty!

Sugar cookies usually aren't my thing. But I found a bag of cute cookie cutters at my mom's and had to use them. I made flip flops and fishies. The cookies were Martha Stewart's Ideal Sugar Cookies. Only Martha would add the word Ideal to her recipe. I found that very amusing.

The frosting was from Alton Brown. If your going to make the frosting make sure to really beat those egg whites or your frosting will never "fluff" up.

I have made sugar cookies from scratch a handful of times. These were delicious! The cookies were a little soft and I could taste the hint of sea salt along with the sweet vanilla taste. Perfect!

Matt came home and saw the decorated cookies and ate one instantly. Then he said there better be more frosting because that wasn't enough for him! He then completely frosted every square inch of two flip flops.

Ahhh... Why can't I be in that naturally thin category and eat 3 frosted cookies in a row?!
