Cookies for Sale

How would you like some of these yummies for your midnight snack?

I made close to 4 dozen of these "cut-out" cookies Wednesday... mailed a few to my sister in California and my mom in Arizona on Thursday, and do you know how many are left as of today?

2

I kid you not. Hubby and I just couldn't help ourselves, as these are the Barnes' family most favorite cookies. I think when I woke up Wednesday close to midnight I must have inhaled at least 3 with a glass of milk. I know, bad, huh?

I will be offering these "cut-out" cookies for sale on my Lazy G Ranch website next week. I'm still trying to figure out the pricing part, which is really quite difficult. I don't want to price them too high, yet when I research other cookie websites, I realize that homemade cookies are not cheap. Plus it takes some rich, fresh ingredients to make these cookies, not to mention my time to roll and cut and ice and decorate these lil beauties... and the ensuing backache! AND I haven't decided how to package them yet either.

So maybe you can help me with part of my dilemma...

What to name these cookies?

In addition to these cookies, I will be offering some deelish chocolate cookies and coconut/macadamia/white chocolate cookies for sale and of course, I'll be needing names for them too.

If you can help me with a name (for just these cut-outs, or all 3 varieties) then I will send you at least a half dozen "cut-out" cookies for your pain, the next time I make them.

This lil giveaway/contest is open to everyone ~ family, friends, people I haven't met yet. Everyone. ANYONE.

Otherwise, they are just going to be called Cut-Out Cookies.

Or maybe Family Recipe Cut-Out Cookies.

How boring and uninspiring is that?!

    Those are some awesome looking cookies! OMG, I neeeed those right now :-D For some reason the only thing I actually thought of was Ice Box cookies. Not sure those are officially 'ice box' cookies (which are refrigerated and maybe sliced instead of cut out? dunno?), but I just think it's a cute, quaint name ;-) Good luck with the cookies! -Tammy

    "You are the icing on my heart" cookie....seriously I think The Lonestar Queen deserves some just for all her wonderful names. If I ever go into the cookie business...

    I suggest you name them: Lazy Heart Cookies (after your Lazy Ranch website) or maybe even: Midnight Delights.

    Who'd have thought there could be so many great names for a cookie! Only now you really have a delimma as you have to pick one from all of them. Or not, as Ice Box Cookies is good.

    Speaking of sweet tooth, come by to see me later.

    Well...I remember eating these cutout cookies back when we were little shorties. What about Kinder-Garten cookies? ;-) for the cookie-lovin kid in all of us. Then you could use other shapes besides the heart. Also, I love the name Cocoa Ponies for the chocolate cookies!! How about Coconut Macalicious for the coconut cookies? Or Cocoa-Macs. (Doug suggests Pecan Surprise, because you take a bite expecting pecans, and Surprise! no pecans. *sigh*)

  20. Bleu's MammaJanuary 24, 2010 at 11:25 AM

    Hmm...I think the spelling on the shortened version of Coconut Macalicious would have to be tweaked (Coco-Macs?) so as not to give the impression of chocolate. Unless you made a chocolate version!

    They look delicious and I'm sure they are given the fact that I LOVE, LOVE LOVE my Lazy G dog treats!

    Mom is havin' a brain cramp as to a name submission but I see you've got some other 2 leggers who have some great ideas!

    Way to go Ringo for makin' it to the big time! One of these days your people will have to call my people and we'll do lunch. BOL!

    I must say I'm rather stunned by the large response I've received for some cookie names! And wow are you guys imaginative... there's some great names here. But I'll wait a lil while longer, and see if anyone else wants to join in the fray.

    In the meantime, I've got some dog biscuits to bake today! :-)

    Just think, soon you'll be able to order treats for your pups AND yourself, all on one website!

    They look so yummy, you might want to consider just naming them 'Crack'.

    I can just hear the TV ad now ...
    So good, you'll stagger out of your bed in the middle of the night for a "fix". ;o)

    I'd sell them to men on their way home from work Feb. 14. Then you could charge whatever you want! Supply and demand, baby! hahaha

    Oh Susan I want those cookies...so badly :-)

    Let's see what name suggestions I can come up with:
    -Little Beauties-
    -Pink Seduction-
    -Simply Sweet-

    Oh dear, my brain is so slow...I will return as soon as I come up with more ideas! LOL.

    Have a great week dear Susan!

    Much love: Evi
