Tropical Engagement Cookies

I made these cookies last summer for my good friend's bridal shower.  If you've been reading my blog for awhile, you might remember these cookies that I made for her engagement party last year.

Her wedding was in the Florida keys, so we stuck to a tropical theme for the shower. After a miserable attempt at stamping the Palm trees onto the cookies, I decided to go with brush embroidery for the Palm leaves.  It definitely was more time consuming than the stamp that I was originally planning to use, but I was happy with how they turned out.  Sometimes you just have to come up with a plan B when things aren't going your way :)
