Do you ever bring your kids grocery shopping with you?  Do you also find that you end up spending twice as much as you normally would?  And find yourself with some weird food item that nobody likes and you have no idea what to do with it but you don’t want to throw it away because it cost like $6.99 for half an ounce?

Freeze Dried Raspberries

Kind of an exaggeration, btw, but still.  These things are so intensely sour I thought my kids faces were going to turn inside out.

But look at that gorgeous color!  And I have been wanting to come up with another interesting riff on the basic sugar cookie…

So, in this post I will be showing you how I baked me some Raspberry Lemon Sugar Cookies, and then I’ll show you a few photos of how I decorated them for my babies!  Lately I’ve been all about the baking blogs, and I’ve found a few that I really love, so here are my favorites:

If you are interested in baking and/or decorating they offer some great recipes and tutorials.  I’ve learned so much from these talented gals!

This recipe is based on the Basic Sugar Cookies from www.inkatrinaskitchen.com.  Be sure to check out her yummy blog!  She’s really funny and creative too!
