For the last two days, the Northwest has been hit hard with snow storms. I have been stranded at home in Seattle due to icy road conditions and I’m getting a little stir-crazy! I’m not complaining too much, though. With my time in isolation I was able to clean all of the house, do all my laundry, and finish this batch of cookies.

Have you ever wanted to make a cookie design but didn’t have the right cookie cutter available to do it? No problem! You can easily make a template on your own. I’ve seen others make custom templates out of anything sturdy but easy to cut like manila folders, cardboard, or recycled plastic lids. What I found that really works for me is quilting clear template plastic.
