Classic Baby Shower Cookies
45 comments » 
I whipped up some cookies for a baby shower this week, and since a few of them are new designs, I wanted to share them with you! These were done for a fairly typical baby shower (more traditional than the last baby shower set I did – remember the Rock n’ Roll Onesies?) and will be given as the favors. The hostess wanted typical baby-type cookies, such as onesies and a rocking horse, and I also did rubber duckies and a baby carriage. The theme was neutral, with pastel colors, so I incorporated that into the cookies, using yellows, greens, pinks and purples.
I have done traditional onesie cookies before, and I think they are one of my favorite cookies to decorate. Maybe it’s the thought of chubby little legs hanging out of the bottom? 
I have to say, though, that I fell in love with all of the others I made this time around. The detail on the baby carriage and rocking horse I especially loved working on. And that rubber ducky is just so darn cute!

Hi Melanie,
The cookies aren’t topped with fondant; they are decorated using royal icing. I did a tutorial last summer about how to decorate cookies this way, you can check it out here: http://www.browneyedbaker.com/2009/06/04/how-to-decorate-cookies-with-royal-icing/
Let me know if you have any questions!

These cookies are adorable. They would make great party favors. You can wrap them in plastic wrap and tie them with a personalized ribbon.

Damn, cool website. I actually came across this on Bing, and I am really happy I did. I will definately be returning here more often. Wish I could add to the conversation and bring a bit more to the table, but am just absorbing as much info as I can at the moment.
Thank You

Wonderful cookies… Did you use the cookie cutter for the shapes or you cut it manually?
