Cute little treats make me smile. You might have notice a big change around here? Maybe? My blog is now called Cutefetti! All the same me, just a little more of who I am now. I've been blogger for about 6 years now and it was time for a cute little upgrade. I hope you're feelin' it, too! Today, I'm sharing these cute Flower Cookies made with only 4 ingredients to kick off the fun! Just my style 😉
The magic starts with $1 store cookies! These Butter Ring shortbread cookies available at The Dollar Tree are the perfect shape. Then, you just need icing like Betty Crocker White Decorating Cookie Icing, fun colored sprinkles and Gum Drops. These 4 simple and easy to find ingredients come together for the cutest cookies that are sure to make anyone smile.
Big shout out to my mom for being a fantastic hand model and for helping me whip these up even quicker. 😉
DIY Flower Cookies
The first step is to simply draw the icing on, just follow the shape of the cookies.
While the icing is still "wet", add your colored sprinkles so they will stick. I chose fun colors like pink, purple and yellow. Then, add your gum drop to the center of each cookie using the icing to get it to stick perfectly.
Then, in just minutes your cookies are done. Just let them set long enough for the icing to dry and that's it. Now you have a super cute flower cookie treat for any occasion. You can whip up a whole batch in just minutes. Nobody will guess how little time you spent creating them. That's a win in my book!

They had a whole tub of this frosting on clearance at Walmart (and I was totally about to get some!). I might just have to head back now and pick up a few colors because these are so adorable!
