Patriotic Wedding Shower Cookies

Since it's still Fourth of July weekend, it's still acceptable to do a patriotic themed post, right?!  Well, either way, it is happening.

A very special bride-to-be had her wedding shower yesterday and since it was happening on the Fourth of July weekend, we did her wedding shower cookies with the holiday in mind.  On the cookies, we included the monogram "EIE" for the bride and the groom's initials.  

I basically added a sanding sugar wherever I could to give the cookies some extra sparkle for such a special occasion.  The stars have a sanding sugar border, the monogram is covered in it and the stripes of the flag are as well.  If ever there was a cookie I made that I wanted to eat, this was the one! 

A big congratulations to the happy couple!  I hope everyone had a safe, fun, and festive Fourth of July weekend!
