Sugar cookie as cupcake canvas

Here are some cupcake incarnations for today’s National Sugar Cookie Day.

During my Texas Cupcakes and Blue Sky trip, I bought a cupcake-shaped cookie cutter. Conceptually charming, if not perfectly practical. Alas, the cookies lose some of their shape when baked.

At the Fancy Food Show, I learned about a newly released cupcake-flavored almond butter produced by Noosh Brands. I used it in place of frosting to make an almondy cupcake cookie for today’s holiday.

And here’s one example of professional cupcakey sugar cookies.

Aaaaand, we come full circle with Noosh’s repost of my photo. It’s satisfying to preach the gospel of cupcakology to a new audience.
