An Ocean Full of Goods

My marine ecology class is just about done for the year. We have a class field trip next week camping in Morro bay. I decided to bake some ocean creatures to celebrate this trip and the end of the school year. I also wanted to make some mermaids so I could add them to the 'edible mermaid' site.
What do you think?
My husband finds them tasty.
I also used vanilla bean paste in the recipe- this adds some small vanilla flecks to the batter and cookies- but has definitely become my new favorite cookie recipe.
I absolutely love the sea stars. They came out really well- I think this is my favorite cookie cutter to date. I found a beautiful copper mermaid from CopperGifts.Com, maybe I will have to treat myself!Copper Gifts has thousands of cookie cutters in amazing shapes. Literally hundreds of them!

House warming/ baby on the way

Just came back from Pete and Michelle's beautiful new home. Had to make them some cookies...Michelle's due date s today- so they are waiting for the stork- I themed these for Stanford- Pete's Alma Mater.

House warming

These are for some friends who just moved into a new home. I loved the Michigan house- they are big wolverine fans. Go Blue!
