AUTUMN LEAVES by Nina

A couple of years ago I told Momsu that I'd like some leaf cookie cutters. In our family we take gift hints very seriously! Sure enough, I was soon in possession of these three great leaf shapes.

Maple

Oak
I wasn't sure if I liked this shape until I made it into a cookie and I do! It just goes to show you that if you're on the fence about a cookie cutter, try it out and you may love it.

Sycamore
I love the irregular edge on this one.

I recently bought this one for myself at a local cake/cookie decorating shop.

These little ones are from a set I've had for a long time. I use them at Thanksgiving to make "crusties" out of leftover pie dough sprinkled with sugar to serve with the pie. They make great little ginger cookies!

They make a nice pattern, too. (Inspiration for surface pattern design is everywhere!)

I'm really happy with the colors, and I had fun with the piping, too.
