Happy 4th of July! Happy Independence Day! And also Happy Birthday to my husband Pat! On the biggest national holiday for us, the United States is turning 236 years old. My husband is not quite that old....only 41! What more could you ask for on your birthday - a paid day off from work (providing you aren't a firefighter or other service employee that has to work on holidays like Pat), fireworks and the whole USA celebrating on that day!
For this round of cookies I wanted to make something other than the plan sugar cookie. I hardly venture out and can only do so when they are just for us. I decided to make some Peanut Butter Sugar cookies and found the recipe from Lizy B here.
Lots of fun ideas for the holiday - like these Bomb pops that I found on Sugarbelle's blog here . Who doesn't like a cookie on a stick?
I saw these stars on hearts on The Baking Sheets website and thought they were fun!
In honor of Pat's birthday I made some 4th of July themed Birthday cookies.
Simply Sweets by Honey Bee made this fun butterfly for the 4th of July. I thought it was fun and different and had to try it. My cutter for the butterfly is a little off-kilter as you can, but I think that adds to the artistic value! You can find a tutorial if you click here.

| Cookie Crazie and Ali Bee's Bake Shoppe had some fun firework cookies on their blogs that I used as inspiration and made them my own a bit. |
Happy Baking!
