I'm so excited to share these adorable "Here Comes the Son" cookies I whipped up for a recent baby shower! They were a delightful way to celebrate the upcoming arrival of a little boy, and the best part? They were a breeze to decorate!
For these cookies, I went with my classic shortbread dough recipe that delivered a melt-in-your-mouth texture. Once baked and cooled, it was decorating time!
Sticking with the "Here Comes the Son" theme, I used a cool blue as my base color, accenting it with crisp white and pops of sunshine yellow. This color palette created a fresh and inviting look, perfect for a baby shower.
To bring the theme to life on the cookies themselves, I used a variety of fun shapes. Classic circles were a must-have, along with adorable onesies and cuddly teddy bears. But the real stars of the show were the message cookies! Using letter cookie cutters, I spelled out "Here Comes the Son" and even snuck in a playful "Sunday Funday" message (because what's better than celebrating a new arrival on a relaxing Sunday?).
This batch of cookies were as delicious as they were adorable!
These cookies were a huge hit at the baby shower, and they were the perfect way to add a touch of sweetness to the celebration. If you're planning a baby shower for a special someone expecting a little boy, these "Here Comes the Son" cookies are sure to be a delightful addition to your party spread!
