The gift of love - frosted cookies

Overview

March 2nd is the birthday of a very close best friend. I have always wanted to give her a special birthday gift, but could never figure out what to give her until I saw frosted cookies online. The frosted biscuits amaze me. It feels like the cheongsam in the clothing industry, fresh but full of charm. So, I decided to give my friend a sweet, thoughtful and warm frosted cookie. It just so happened that March 2nd was also the first day my dear Baby An went to kindergarten. In the past two and a half years, Baby An had never been away from me for a day. Therefore, without Baby An by my side, I suddenly felt empty and helpless. Because I always think of Baby An playing with dough next to me and worry that Baby An will not be able to adapt to kindergarten life, I am always uneasy. Whenever it is time to outline and draw lines, my hands will shake and draw different smooth lines. Although making frosted cookies is a laborious task, I still made some frosted cookies for my baby An, including little skirts, bows, and small animals, to celebrate baby An taking an important step in her life and starting a new life. I hope my baby Ann and good friends can feel my love from the gifts.
