Love Cooking Company Presents: Mrs. Fields Cookie Cuttables & a Giveaway!

**Disclaimer: I have received products to try from Love Cooking Company & am simply sharing my personal opinion which may vary from yours. I was not compensated for this review.

Recently I discovered the art of the decorated cut-out sugar cookie. And when I say discovered, I mean I've made it a goal to perfect my cookie decorating skills. Which aren't very good to begin with, but I'll get there (someday). No doubt the pastry bag, case of decorating tips & mini squeeze bottles I just ordered today will help tremendously. Yep, I'm that level of determined! 

Of course as you can imagine, my cookie cutter collection has grown too. Too bad my kitchen hasn't, because I have them shoved wherever I can find space. In a bin I keep in a cupboard above the refrigerator, in the silverware drawer & the top shelf of my spice cupboard to name a few. Which basically just means that when I'm looking for one (or a few) specific cookie cutters, it's always the last place I look. Always.

Needless to say I was uber excited when I received the Easter themed Mrs. Fields Cookie Cuttables from Love Cooking Company. The reason being that it fits nicely in my cupboard. Actually, I could probably stack quite a few of them in my cupboard (hooray for no more digging through every nook & cranny in my kitchen!). And since that may not be reason enough for you to fall head over heels in love, you'll be happy to know that it works great too! Not to mention it gets bonus points for being dishwasher safe (top rack only).

Please excuse the shadows, the sun was out in full force!

I decided to make my go-to sugar cookie recipe to try my Mrs. Fields Cookie Cuttables on. The only thing I had an issue with, was rolling out the entire batch of dough so it would be large enough. And that was only an issue because I usually work in small batches. Why? I have no idea. (No wonder why I always dreaded actually making the cookies.) just an all around firm press & a slight jiggle (like any other cookie cutter), was all it took. There weren't even any cookies stuck in the cutters of the Mrs. Fields Cookie Cuttables waiting to be destroyed at my attempt to poke them out. Yea, I really had an issue making cut-out cookies before, in case it wasn't obvious to you.

Easter eggs, Easter bunnies & baby chicks...oh my!

Confession time! I have been taking the time to bake a batch of Easter cookies with my Mrs. Fields Cookie Cuttables about every other day or so. In way less than half of the time it took me before I might add (figuring in all the time that it took me to find the cookie cutters I needed too). Now I know it's not even St. Patrick's Day yet & Easter is more than a month away, but I had the best idea when I was making that first batch of cookies. In a couple of weeks, my friends & their families are coming over & we're going to decorate all of these cookies. It's going to be so much fun!
