A very good friend of mine is running for Selectman in her hometown. Her kick off event for her campaign was this last night and I brought cookies for the big event. My original plan was make cookies that look like her bumper stickers. But I wasn't thrilled when I originally started baking them. Because the cookie cuter was so large I wasn't getting nearly enough cookies. So, I decided to break out my circle cutters and make campaign buttons to bring with the bumper stickers!
Once I started using the circles I was a lot happier and getting much more cookies. I decided to use different size circles for the buttons. I made almost 100 cookies and it was definitely time consuming. Late into Thursday night when I was decorating I realized that I wasn't got to get all the detail work done that I was hoping to do. The tiny cookies only ended up just saying the candidates last name- but I think it ended up looking okay.
Overall I was pretty happy with how this came out. I liked how they displayed together at the event. The candidate was very happy and that was the most important thing!

Great idea!
How fun. Very creative!
They are awesome! You are very clever and you have such neat writing! No wonder the candidate was happy. I would have been too with these great cookies!
These look so cute, I bet they will get her a lot of votes. ;)
Maybe this is a silly question, but what is a Selectman?
So, a Board of Selectman is the Executive Governing Board in towns. It is similar to a City Council, but its for smaller communities. I think it pretty much something you find mostly in the New England area.
Awesome cookies!
