Fairy Bites - A Sweet Little Treat

Hope your week is going well! If not, I have something to cheer you

up! Fairy Bites!! Just looking at these cute little cookie bites makes

me smile! It brings out the kid in me! These are the kind of cookies

that would be perfect for a Doll's Tea Party with my little girl!

They are easier to make than you might think - especially if you

have an icing knife and a bench scraper. I used my bench scraper

to cut the cookies and my icing knife to move them to my baking

sheet. This knife made it so easy to move rows of cookies at

a time, then I just separated them with my finger. Don't worry
 if you don't have these tools - just use a long knife to cut and
 move them.

The cookies were so good and extremely addictive!! They

would make a lovely tea party favor placed in a pretty bag

with a pretty label and ribbon!
