To celebrate the 40th birthday of a dear friend from high school, I wanted to surprise her with a splash of color.  The cookies were inspired by my friend’s amazing skill.  Her art talent always marveled me.  She painted beautiful images on canvas or doodled fun sketches in notes.  I always envied admired her talent.

Since all my high school buddies are going through “the change” this year with cresting over the hill to forty, I wanted a little fun to show up in the mail to help get through the day.  Because even if their design doesn’t make up for the fact you are venturing into another decade, eating cookies always makes things better.
