Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler!

Well, these pictures don't need a whole lot of introduction...

Mardi Gras Cookies.


My first set of Mardi Gras cookies! (Then again, I've only been making sugar cookies for one year now... most holidays are still my "first" time...) But they were so fun! Also, I used chocolate dough for the cookies to make the colors really POP!


Mardi Gras Cookies.


I was determined to find SOMETHING in my collection of cookie cutters that would work. I did hand-cut the Fleur-de-Lis cookies, but the rest all came from existing cutters in my stash.

Mardi Gras Cookies.
I used crowns...

Mardi Gras Cookies.
Mario's mustache from Halloween...

Mardi Gras Cookies.
And hearts and butterflies.
(I flipped the heart over to cut the opposite direction after making the first cut.)

Mardi Gras Cookies.
I even put sticks in a few of the larger masks to make them the "real deal." Fun!

Mardi Gras Cookies.
This one is my very favorite mask. I love the feathers. :-)

Though I really like this one, too!


And there were SO MANY MORE! It was very tough deciding which ones I wanted to take pictures of, so I definitely took a bunch!

We've got a soccer game for Jack tonight, so I'm definitely ready for an easy Mardi Gras dinner of pancakes. I hope you are having a wonderful time, and eating some King Cake, too!

These are wonderful! Did you make the king's cake one? With a pretend baby? LOL :)

I didn't make a King Cake. In fact, I've never made nor even HAD any King Cake... *gasp*

One day... :-)

Thank you! My family still insists that there wasn't a snowman hiding in that car cutter a while back... but I did it anyway!
