Shimmer sugar is such a mesmerizing thing, especially when they come beautifully bottled and labeled – Amethyst Shimmer, Peridot Shimmer, Gold Shimmer, Sapphire Shimmer, and so on. How can one walk away and not bring at least a bottle home? After all, the holidays are just round the corner and those sugar cookies need to be decorated. I stood there for a long while trying to figure out which color would best compliment my holiday decorations. It was like shoe shopping and trying to decide the color that would go best with all your different outfits.

Amethyst Shimmer Sugar

I have always like the deep purple of amethyst and so I went with that. Of course I had to get another color to compliment the amethyst. Can you guess which other one I bought? I will share that another time. 😉 For now, let’s get back to these delightful Lavender Sugar Cookies with Amethyst Shimmer. I added a little culinary lavender (one of my favorite herbs) to make them extra special. Love how they turned out. I hope you enjoy them too.

You can see more shimmer sugar being used in these Sugar Cookies I made for the kids attending Vacation Bible School. I had fun making those cookies.

    Such pretty cookies – any girl’s heart would flutter at the sight of them 🙂 The one thing about decorated cookies is that I always feel too “sayang” to eat them and destroy the artistry and effort that went into them… But if you say “lavender”, then I will have at least one. The teacup and that gorgeous tea tin complement your lovely cookies, perfectly!

      So true about being “sayang” to eat them. These were not too difficult and so no problems popping them into the mouth. They tasted really good too. Thanks for the gorgeous teacup. I use it every now and then. Love the feel of it. BTW, I do collect tea tins. They are too pretty to be discarded. 😉

    Oh, I almost forgot – I think you got either the gold shimmer or peridot shimmer…. probably gold 🙂
