Bottle Cap Cookies

We had a little party for the Winter Solstice this year and we wanted to make sugar cookies, but we didn't have any cookie cutters. We made a few using the old-fashioned upside-down glass method, and then went hunting for other things around the house that we could use.

We made a big batch of adorable bite-sized cookies, using a bottle cap as a cookie cutter. Take one bottle cap and one wine cork and a hot glue gun. Hot glue the cork onto the bottle cap. Now you can use the cork as a handle to punch out your cookies.

Make your favorite sugar cookie recipe. I learned from a recipe this time that you can use powdered sugar instead of flour to ease the rolling of the dough. The cookies are small, so they'll cook a bit faster than normal. Decorate them with your favorite icing and candies.

Someone Else Knit my Hat

Someone else knit my Space Invaders hat and was nice enough to send me a picture of it on Instructables. She did a cool modification of the pattern and I think both hats look great.
