So, are you feeling the excitement about the arrival of spring? All the little signs like longer days, warmer temperatures, and proud blades of green grass appearing everywhere, are starting to have their usual affect on me. An eagerness to go outside and enjoy nature more, (especially with these guys), to lean towards choosing more fruits and vegetables to eat besides hearty, comfort (hibernation) food, and to decorate my cookies in a more springlike, pastel color palette. The last one’s probably a bit of an odd thing to state, but I think you know by now that I’m a bit of a cookie nerd.
This spring’s a little different than usual though. We’re in the midst of a home renovation, and our kitchen has officially been gutted. You can see a glimpse of it here on Instagram – as well as our last blast of winter, I’m sure! Because I’m not able to bake and decorate right now, I thought I’d share some spring cookie ideas from the blog archives.

Love the lacy cookies, when I click on the tutorial it takes me to the tutu cookies, and I cannot find where to find the lace directions. Can you help me out please? Thanks!
