Butter Attack!

 Nutmeg and Cinnamon

After much debate on what to make as our first post, and a slight vegan disaster in Nutmeg's kitchen, we decided that a butter themed treat was appropriate for this blog. These butter attack cookies taste so good, and they're easy to make too - only 6 ingredients! And the best part is you can make any shape you want!

We made a snake, a lizard, our initials, a treble clef, a swirl, a key, two people holding hands. The possibilities are endless!
