11 Summer Food-Themed Cookies
Always a favorite around here. These fried chicken cookies are suuuuuuuper simple to make...and do not actually contain any chicken.
Life is a Bowl of Cherries Cookies
Ah, cherries. There is no cuter fruit. This cherry, yellow, and polka dot cookie set is one of my favorites...maybe it's the years I spent working for Mary Engelbreit, but cherries are always the epitome of cute to me.
Put a cookie on a stick, and you increase the cute quotient x 5. Make it ice cream pop cookies on popsicle sticks, and it goes up by 8. It's true.
At the ballpark, at a cookout...it's not summer without hot dogs and cold beer. Amiright?!? Kick these up another notch by adding a few green jimmies for relish.
Maybe they're technically a spring berry, but we go through strawberries around here like crazy all summer. If you're a beginning cookie decorator, this is a very satisfying cookie to decorate when you're learning. Those dots are easy to make and really easy. Also, let me put in a plug for this strawberry refrigerator cake.
If you like the idea of strawberry cookies, you might also want to make this strawberry basket cookie set! Strawberries, cute little baskets, and flowers all in one set.
Alright, I eat avocados and guacamole year-round, but it does seem like my consumption increases exponentially in the summer. Yours, too?
I love pineapple...whether it's cut into chunks, sliced and cooked on a grill, or in a pina colada, pineapples are a summer staple. Make these pineapple cookies, and also...please tell me you've tried this Pineapple Cream Tiramisu!
French Fry Cookies with Buttercream Ketchup
I know I should spend summer eating salads and foods that have a cooling effect, but truth be told, I crave fast food all summer long. Don't ask me why - I can't get enough fries - potato or cookies - all summer! These cookie french fries are really fun for a party!
