This is bakers twine. However my hubby suggested the thin licorice.

Too cute, recipe please!

The recipe is just a basic sugar cookie recipe. I plan on doing a tutorial in the near future. Stay Tuned!

They are adorable. It looks like twine as the thread. Maybe you could use thing licorice. Doesn't Twislers make a thin rope candy that can be separated? I'll surely have to try making these.

Debbie, Twislers's does make a thin licorice. My hubby suggested that when he say me sewing with twine. He is a fast learner!

Hi Joyce,

I didn't think of licorice at the time. And 44 girls at the retreat survived--I told them they could use it as dental floss if need be!

Those are just too cute and a good idea for a sewing group refreshment. I'll watch for the tutorial so I can make some for treats at one of our meetings.

What a great idea for a quilt retreat treat! Yep, the black licorice would be great for the "ties" on those cookies. Looks like you had a great time also. And I agree, your long arm quilting is fabulous! If only ......

I saw a similar recipe in a magazine and saved it. They used royal icing in a very thin strip to make the "thread" so they could make it edible. I participate in a cookie exchange each year and plan to make them for that.
