These umbrella cookies are so cute. I love baking cookies and they’re probably the items I bake most. My favorite is Oatmeal Raisin with golden raisins.
I just love these cookies! My kids and I are excited for this movie, so we’ll have to make them for sure. They look awesome!
My favorite cookies are chocolate chip. I enjoy them the most and they are also one of the easiest for me to bake.
You gave me an idea! Since I have a birthday party on Sunday with children after the cinema, go see Mary Poppins I could prepare these cookies for them! Thank you!
I have always liked chocolate chip cookies but as I’ve gotten older, I like seven layer cookies. I have a real sweet tooth though!
I love the shape of these cookies. My favorite cookies are frosted sugar cookies.
My favorite cookies are sugar cutout cookies. We have been using the same recipe for over 30 years and they always come out great!
Wow those look so professional! What a unique cookie cutout.. Super cute and you can’t go wrong with sugar cookies, everyone loves sugar cookies 🙂
Oh my. Those cookies are so adorable. How can I order ?
These are so cute and they also look very easy to make. What a great idea to commemorate the return of the Mary Poppins movie. Now if you can just make them and sneak them into the movies with you that would be doubly awesome.
Oh my goodness! These are so cute umbrellas and bet the taste was so good. Kids definitely love this!
These have to be the cutest cookies! What a fun idea and so perfect for the new Mary Poppins movie! I am so going to have to make these very soon
These cookies are so cute, maybe I will make them with my littles in their Christmas break. These seem more fun than the normal sugar cookies we always make!
I’ve never seen such cute cookies before. Mary Poppins is such a great theme to use for baking such treats! Can’t wait to prepare them just after Christmas, when I find some more free time! 🙂
I love good cookies and these look like they were made by a professional. The cutout is so fun. I cannot wait for the new Mary Poppins movie.
This is so cute and it looks good too. we love chocolate cookies. I am so excite to watch Mary Poppins in the big screen I’ve been waiting for it for weeks.
Wow! You’re so talented. I can’t tackle the most basic of cookies let alone these. Also, I would never have imagined a black cookie having appetite appeal but I could chow down on these, I’m sure.
Those are super duper cute. That’s what I want when baking, adorable and sweet stuff altogether. I am sure kids will love it.
Those umbrella cookies are beautiful, sure it is going to be delicious. I need to take kids to watch Mary Poppins new movie, I think I can make this cookies too.
Those are some pretty fun umbrellas to make. Gotta love the Mary Poppins cookies. I think they would be great. Such a fun thing to do for a party.
My favorite is the chocolate chip cookies my grandmother taught me how to make years ago. They were her special recipe!
These look amazing! I love to bake cookies.
These are so cute and creative! I definitely need to try to make these, they will be a great conversation starter too for my house warming!
My favorite cookies are chocolate chip. Sometimes I’ll mix up a batch of just the dough and throw it in the fridge. Each night after dinner we’ll toss in different mix-ins, whatever we’re craving, and then bake’m up! It gets pretty creative after Halloween with the various types of candy!
Growing up I was never a big fan of cookies, but since I moved to the US I have started not only enjoying them but also baking them! I have been trying my hand at several recipes but so far oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are my absolute favorites!
I love oatmeal raisin cookies, but my wife refuses to let them in the house,. Subsequently, I’ve taken to enjoying her chocolate chip cookies, or even pumpkin cookies.
My favorite cookies are classic peanut butter cookies! Although chocolate Oatmeal No-Bake Cookies run a very very close second! The umbrella cookies are just adorable!!
These are the cutest cookies! We were just saying how we want to see this movie next.
