Boot Sugar Cookies"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Happy Friday, everyone!\u00a0 I have been slowly learning how to decorate cookies the right way.\u00a0 Last fall I showed you the <a href=\"http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/2017\/10\/29\/how-to-decorate-fall-leaf-cookies\/\">leaf fall cookies<\/a> that I made, and I have been playing around with other designs and having so much fun with them.\u00a0 Little Miss loves helping me bake and decorate.\u00a0 Her decorating has a lot more sprinkles!!!\u00a0 This year Little Miss had a cowgirl themed birthday party (I will have a post about it next week).\u00a0 I thought it would be fun to make cowgirl boots for party favors.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>First of all, I started off using <a

one, I found <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2IjS48r\">this one<\/a>.\u00a0 Also, a good tip is to use <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2N2y3UF\">this<\/a> to press down and flatten your cookies the moment

did not have a spur on the back, but if you have one that does, you can incorporate it into the decorating or cut it off.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter
