Let me introduce myself. My name is Lynne, creator of The Southern Cookie Co. I started decorating cookies in 2022 when I bought some for my husband's retirement party. They were gorgeous and tasty and I thought: 'hmm. I could do this.'
Aren't they considered 'famous last words'?
I've always loved to bake; my good friend Camille taught me many of her goodie recipes. She also taught me about generosity. She wouldn't let you leave her house until you were very well fed. "Just a drop" meant a plate overflowing with delicious Italian food and treats. We learned to make baklava together, she taught me to make Anise Cookies, Italian Wedding Cookies and Cream Cheese Cupcakes (I've never been thin!)
My first decorated cookie attempt was a set of anniversary cookies for my friend Jackie. They looked pretty awful, but I used a great recipe, so they tasted good. Below is my first attempt.
Thanks for reading, and have a great day!
