For my birthday tea today I made Hello Kitty cookies to celebrate being on Medicare!! Oh my word, can I really be this old?? Yes I can, but I certainly don't feel it. I might as well keep having fun and enjoying Hello Kitty things. I thought I'd share the cookies with my family as party favors, and enjoy some with a cup of my favorite eggnogg'n tea.
Isn't this cookie adorable? I used my favorite sugar cookie recipe, found here.
You can use your favorite buttercream frosting or royal icing. Royal icing would be prettier and smoother, but I prefer the flavor of buttercream. Icing gels were used for the eyes, whiskers and bow. I had special yellow candies for the nose, but a yellow M&M would work, too.
My plateful of cookies ready to share with my family!

That's right Kitty - I already forgot (shorter memory) today is the big HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAY! And isn't it wonderful paying like $300.00 a month nstead of the $797.00 I was paying for castrophic insurance. That was terrible and I just want back what they withheld from me for years - hardly my idea of an "entitlement".
ReplyDeleteSo before I ramble even further "Happy Birthday to you"!!!!!
Happy Birthday, Kitty! I hope you and your family enjoy your special day and adorable cookies! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, Kitty! The cookies are so cute for your party, and NO you can't possibly be old enough for medicare!
ReplyDeleteAdorable Hello Kitty cookies for Kitty, the Birthday Girl! Happy Birthday! I hope you had a perfect day!
ReplyDeleteHow cute! You are very patient to make and decorate these. I hope your family enjoys them ~ I love sugar cookies.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a very Happy Birthday and a wonderful year to follow!

ReplyDeleteDear Kitty,
ReplyDeleteHappy happy Birthday to you. Its never too late to be a child. We can enjoy the fun as long as we live, right! What does the amount of year means? Nothing, because one is as old as one feels. And our generation stays much younger, even when we count a lot of years. We live really in a blessed time. I love your funny Hello Kitty cookies. They are purrfect for your birthday. I wish you a very happy birthday celebration with your kids and a wonderful new year of life with health, prosperity and luck. And all the wonders, which will come!
Best greetings, Johanna
How precious these are! My nieces love Hello Kitty (sister in law is from Japan) and so she really turned them on to her when very little. Congratulations on celebrating you and the next chapter, I love the idea!
ReplyDeleteMy granddaughter would love these. Very cute. Blessings, Martha
ReplyDeleteA belated Happy Birthday! Hope you had a wonderful day, and keep on celebrating! My Mary Engelbreit calendar page for today said "There is no key to happiness, the door is always open". I like that! Those cookies are very cute!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Kitty! Your cookies are a perfect way to celebrate, I prefer the taste of buttercream to royal icing too :) Love the quote from Donna G's calendar. Hope your celebration was delightful!
ReplyDeleteHello Kitty,
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a lovely birthday! Nice that Hello Kitty could be there! lol! Those cookies look a treat! Buttercream is the best icing! I still use and old recipe from a Hershey's cookbook for kids I had as a child. Congratulations on turning 65! Although, you do look 20 years younger than that!
: ) I am turning 55 in a couple weeks and I can hardly believe it. Time just goes by so fast!
I am wishing for you a year of lovely surprises and many opportunities to experience joy.
Hugs,
Terri
Kitty, these are adorable! Happy Birthday, my friend. I hope you had a sweet celebration with your family. I'm a year ahead of you. Welcome to Medicare. '-)
ReplyDeleteHope your birthday was extra special.
ReplyDeleteHow can it not be with Hello Kitty cookies and Medicare.
These are darling Kitty. The French are most polite about aging. They refer to us as "a woman of a certain age". Happy Birthday.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Kitty!! Welcome to the club, we are happy to have you, it is the best part of your life! I love what Madonna said about the French calling us "a woman of a certain age". Your cookies are just adorable and we would love them,(more than one). Thank you so much for sharing this awesome post with Full Plate Thursday and have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteCome Back Soon!
Miz Helen
