Those little faces are called Emoticons. And I'm addicted to them. I can't help myself. {And, yes, I recall going through a stage of dotting my i's with little hearts.}
So, when I saw this card at Target a few weeks ago, I knew those little emoticons needed to be made into cookies.
These are probably the easiest cookies you will ever make.
First, I cut out the cookies with my square cutter, then divided it into smaller squares with a bench scraper
The baked and cooled cookies were then outlined and filled in royal icing tinted with AmeriColor Bright White.
{Oops, I put that heart <3 in there backwards.}
The "smileys," as I like to call them, were added using a 1.5 tip
So, fess up. Are you a lover of emoticons as well?
What's your favorite? ;)
Love these cookies! I must admit that I have quite an obsession with emoticons. I even said that someone was going to have to do an emoticon intervention if I don't stop. :)
ReplyDeleteSee...I can't help it. My fave emoticon is :P
ah yes, I'm guilty too :) I use the smiley all the time. Even tried to stop and just cant'! Very cute cookies, love the size of them :)
ReplyDeleteI use emoticons like they are going out of style! There are always ":D" all over, and it gets embarassing when I finish multiple sentences in a row with them!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute cookies! I admit that I love emoticons too! Both western style and Japanese style emoticons. Like this one: (*≧▽≦)
ReplyDeletethey are super cute :)
ReplyDeleteI genererally use :) and :D not all of them like you, even didn't know some of them :)
These are so cute. Yeah, can't love without the :D and .... Have a good day! ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm also one of "those" people ;P I actually hate it when I have to write an email to someone whom I need to be professional with, feels very formal!
ReplyDeleteMight have to try these as they look so simple :) xo
I LOVE the winking smiley face and the heart on my email emoticon list!!!!!! :)
ReplyDeletecute, cute, cute!!
ReplyDeleteLove, Love, Love this!!!! LOL Yes, I love all the "smileys"!! I think my favorite one though is the wink! ;) Have an awesome day!
ReplyDeleteThey are ADORABLE!!! I <3 them~ :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I was just a professional...before I became a professional mommy (and blogger!)...I never used emoticons. But there's something about social media that just makes it seem like the cool thing to do, no? ;)
ReplyDelete[I also never started sentences with "but", but I'm there, too.]
So precious!!! ; )
ReplyDeleteThose are so sweet! I, too, find it hard to write anything without adding a :-D or a ;-P (my fave) and there are always lots of .... in between. And mine always have to have a nose!
ReplyDeleteI use them all the time - which makes the people who know me giggle, because they would all swear I'm not an emoticon kind of girl. I definitely overuse :P I'm thinking there might be a self-help group for this somewhere...
ReplyDeleteVery cool, Bridget!
ReplyDeleteBridget it is so funny to me that you posted this! My emoticon addiction began when I joined twitter. Also I feel the need to LOL at everything. I am a big laugher "in real life" too but why can I not complete a thought without it? While I'm confessing I should admit that I also think in hashtags. :O
ReplyDeleteI'm an over user of the smiley face. I can't help it...and you know, I don't think I smile in real life nearly as much as I do in emails!!
ReplyDeleteLove the cookies...adorable!!
The best thing about smileys is they help convey the tone of what you are writing. You can use sarcasm. LOL
ReplyDeleteso stinkin' cute - and in fact, these are cookies even i, the baking-challenged, might be able to pull off!
ReplyDeletecute! I am also guilty of using :) and ;) and !!!!!!!!! in my typing lol
ReplyDeleteHAHA I LOVE THIS!!! I THINK I OVERUSE THE :)
ReplyDeleteI love to visit here. There is always something delicious waiting to greet me. This sounds wonderful and I love the way you've presented it. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary
ReplyDeleteMy favorite cookies, by far ;)
ReplyDeleteSo so great. I'll post a link on Edible Crafts :). (Yes, I use emoticons, but just the smiley! They really are so very perfect to spice up such bland, typed words that can't possibly do the job of conveying sentiment.)
ReplyDeleteThese are great and clever, as usual ;)
ReplyDeleteI am guilty of overusing :) I didn't realize there are SO many emoticons! I have been under-expressing myself, ha ha!
Adorable cookie idea...so cute! Oh, and for the record...I love your little heart you put before your name in your emails.
ReplyDeleteI am a guilty emoticon-er too! It's not a real message without at least one of these :) or these :P
ReplyDeleteLove the cookies. So many cute ideas come from cards.
I myself usually don't send emails with much expression and excitement~so I don't ever use the emoticons.
ReplyDeleteAh....haha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just kidding!!!!!!!!!!! :) ;) :) ;)
I can't sign my name to this day without putting a big HEART beside it! No kidding. When I sign something official I have to concentrate to keep from placing the BIG heart on the signature~
Did you say you "USE" to use a HEART to dot your "i's"?
Well I still do!!! ;o)
Can you get over that!
I also put clouds around everything!
And of course I went through the DOT letters phase.
In college I had a best friend who I thought could do "dot" letters better than me. She thought I did them better than her~we made big banners with dot letter words and we would always say~ "no....yours look better!" ;)
When I taught first grade all of my students started putting clouds and hearts on their papers when they turned in work~so CUTE! Can you imagine what their teacher thought the following year when they turned in a spelling test with a big puffy cloud around their name and a HEART! ;)
So yes!!!!
I am guilty on this one!
Guilty beyond belief.
LOVE these cute cookies!
Wish I had one with my coffee right now~ ;)
xoxoxoxoxoxoxooxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox~
Is that enough hugs and kisses for you?
This is so cute, u have some great talent . amazing http://athinkingstomach2.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteVery cute - and love that you got the idea from a greeting card!
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw these I was wondering if you had done anything with dominoes. I did a search on your web site, but didn't get a hit.
I have a group of friends who are avid Mexican Train Dominoes players and would love to see your take on color dot dominoes!
ADORABLE
ReplyDeleteThat's funny, because I too am super addicted to using little smileys and such... even worse is that I do it all over facebook! :/ But I just love them... because how else can you really accurately tell a person your mood through type? With a smiley! :)
ReplyDeleteI love these cookies, though. Super cute.
cute!
ReplyDeletemy faves are the classic :),
licking lips :9,
and the wink ;).
I'm guilty too! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the cookies!
They might be easy but they look so fancy and pretty!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteYOU NEVER STOP AMAZING ME BRIDGET!! haha
I <3 these.....
ReplyDeleteMy daughter asked me to make cookies for her and a few friends this week and these would be so perfect!
What teenage girl doesn't use emoticons...it's genius.
Super cute idea Bridget !!!!! :) :) :) :) ...Too bad I don't overuse any of those pesky emoticons...much :-D
ReplyDeleteOh yes, guilty as charged! I've been know to use an emoticon or two ;-)
ReplyDeleteVery cute!!
ReplyDeleteGUILTY!!! =) is my fave by far. Im afraid my overuse is downright annoying but I cannot stop! ♥
ReplyDeleteSo fun! They also remind me of scrabble pieces... wouldn't it be more fun to play scrabble with cookies?
ReplyDeleteI'm guilty too! :)
ReplyDeleteyou and your cookies crack me up!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE these!! what will you think of next?! xoxoxo
Wait, I thought I was the queen of "...." Love the cookies!
ReplyDeleteI'm not so much a fan of emoticons but I am a huge fan of frosted sugar cookies! Yours are super cute.
ReplyDeleteSooooooooooo clever!!! They'd look awesome in Chocolate too!!!
ReplyDeleteBridget, I LOVE these cookies!!! You are just so clever! I cannot seem to post a comment or send an email without the smiley:) I am compelled to add it. It's an obsession, really. It's nice to know I'm in good comapny:)
ReplyDeleteADORABLE! I am one of "those people" too (although I will try to refrain from all the smilies in this comment, hehe)!
ReplyDeleteyou've got mad skillz, bridget!
These look so adorable! I love them. You've left off my favourite one though *<:-) a smiley wearing a party or santa hat!
ReplyDeleteThese cookies are great! My teens would love them. I use the little smiley face all the time. I think adding a little smile to something is always a good thing:)
ReplyDeleteSuch a clever & cute idea for cookies! Kudos on your creativity!

I love those cookies :D
ReplyDeleteMe gusta mucho eres una artista.
ReplyDeleteBesos
mmmmmmmm I love my little :) faces :)
ReplyDeleteAdorable! inspiration is everywhere. Perfect treat to share at my husband's office, techies galore.
ReplyDeleteomg these are fantastic. I like my emoticons, as nearly every comment that I leave on blogs ends with some sort of winking or smiling thing. So, as to not part with tradition.. :D
ReplyDeleteMy high school english teacher once said you get three exclamation points in your lifetime... I use three about a minute...
ReplyDeleteHahaha, too cute - I love them all! And I'll be joining the Emoticon Overusers Group as well. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love the various places you find your inspiration! This is adorable!
ReplyDeleteUm SHYEAH! My best friend and I never cease to get a laugh at how the emoticons translate to faces on AIM (back in the day when we actually had time to instant message) We love the sunglasses one 8-) and the money face and zipper face..lolol :-$ Oh and I totally used hearts to dot my i's. Until one day in high school when I got in trouble for doing it (all girls Catholic school..you know how that is)
ReplyDeletepreciousteph@aol.com
Love the cookies!I is a very unique idea :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous idea, Bridget! I love that you got your inspiration from a greeting card!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute cookies! And they do look easy and fun to make.
ReplyDeleteI like to make one with a little hat:
*<|:D
Bridget, love these cookies!! I need to learn the meaning of all those icons but I am addicted to :) & ;) seldom I might use :(
ReplyDeleteGenius little cookies!
I mainly use :) and usually when there's a chance my email tone might be misinterpreted. I do, however, love me some exclamation marks and ellipses!!
ReplyDeleteThose cookies are so adorable. I've always wondered...what do you do with all the cookies you make?
I'd like to try my hand at some, but I can't eat all those cookies. Well, I can but it wouldn't be pretty...
I love these, Bridget! Way fun. ;)
ReplyDeleteI <3 this idea ... and I'm so addicted to the "smiley faces" a few of my favorites are
