Mini Puzzle Piece Cookies

OK.

 

So normally when I write a post,

I will chat a little about why and who the cookies are for.

 

But, this time, I am just going to jump right to the picture!

 

 

Aren't they cute?

 

Don't you just love them?

 

I do!

 

Honestly, between you and me, when I pulled

them out of the oven, I cried.

 

I actually sat on my kitchen floor and cried,

like a baby, weeping.

 

These cookies just said

"Autism" to me.

 

I have made mini puzzle piece cookie,

like A LOT in my cookie baking adventure.

 

 

 

They were cute!

 

I like them!

 

They were fun to make, but..something was all way "off" about them.

 

Maybe it was just me, but they did not capture

what I was looking for.

 

They just felt, well, they felt, dull.

 

Then

 

I made them using colored dough!

 

 

And my soul was at peace!

 

The heavens opened!

 

Angles sang!

 

And all was right in the world.

 

See the difference?

 

 

The ones made with colored dough just

 

POP!

 

OK...I was going to save these for April.

 

Why April?

 

Well, April is Autism Awareness Month.

 

April is special to me, to my son, to my family,

and to my blog.

 

But...I just could not hold these cookies

to my self one minute longer!

 

These cookies just scream

 

AUTISM!

 

They scream

 

LOOK AT ME!

 

 

They scream

 

NOTICE ME!

 

 

They scream

 

I JUST WANT TO BE LOVED!

 

 

And, that is a message that I just

could not keep to myself.

So....I set them free!

 

For all the world to love!

 

To be enjoyed!

 

To be embraced!

 

To be noticed!

 

 

I still have BIG, HUGE plans for

April, but until then,

enjoy these cookies,

I know I did!

 

Until next time
