I am creating my own pregnancy journal and I just need some opinions on what I should put into it. This journal is also going to used for the baby for the first couple years. If there is anything that you have had in pregnancy journal or what you think would be cool when they get older. Please let me know.

I need a cute, creative cookie recipe to use as a birthday present for a 9 year old boy. Any ideas?

Needs to be cute and taste good!
Answer
I like the cookie bouquets for birthday gifts. You don't have to have cutters to make the shapes...just make the shapes from paper and lay the pattern down on the rolled out cookie dough and cut around it. To put the cookies on a stick you can just lay the stick on the back of the baked cookie and pour some melted chocolate over it....this will "glue" it to the cookie.
I used to work in a cookie bouquet shop and I have a very good icing recipe to use for the decorations. I also have 3 real different cookie recipes for rolled out cookies...you can choose which you would like.
This is a link to a cookie bouquet idea:

......after the chocolate has dried and the cookie is attached to the stick you can put the sticks in a block of styrofoam to hold them in place.
CUTOUT COOKIE ICING
3 egg whites, at room temp.
Whip 2 min., fast speed or until stiff.
Add:
1/2 tsp. almond extract
1 tsp. vanilla
1 lb. powdered sugar (1 box)
Mix.
Add,
2 TBS. Crisco
Mix on low speed until smooth.
(if you want to make a glaze from this, just add a little hot water to it so it is thin enough to dip the cookie in or brush the icing on the cookie.
CUTOUT SUGAR COOKIES
set oven temp. at 375°F
1 1/3 cups shortening (I use butter or margarine)
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
(optional, 1/8 tsp. each, almond, orange, lemon flavors)
2 eggs
2 1/2 TBS. milk
4 cups flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
Cream shortening, add sugar and flavorings and cream together.
Add eggs and milk. Cream.
Mix flour, baking powder and salt together.
Add flour mixture to batter. Mix just until incorporated.
Cool in refrigerator 1 hour or more. Divide dough in half.
Roll out to desired thickness. I make mine almost 1/2 inch thick. Most people
make them 1/4 inch thick.
Cut in shapes and place on cookie sheet. Reroll the dough with the rest of the dough.
If you do not plan to ice the cookies, sprinkle with sugar. Otherwise, leave plain.
Bake at 375°F for 6 to 12 minutes, depending on how thich you roll them. They should be lightly browned around the edges
BROWNIE ROLL OUT COOKIES
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup lightly salted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
Preheat oven at 350 degrees. Whisk dry flour, salt and baking powder in bowl and set aside. Mix butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla and cocoa in mixer. Gradually add flour mixture, and mix until smooth. Wrap in plastic and chill for at least one hour.
Roll out cookie dough on floured counter. Cut into desired shapes, brushing extra deposits of flour off the top. (It does disappear once baked, though, so don’t overly fret if they go into the oven looking white.) Bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 8 to 11 minutes (the former for 1/8-inch thick cookies, the latter for 1/4-inch cookies) until the edges are firm and the centers are slightly soft and puffed.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Peanut Butter Cut-Outs
Yield: 36 Servings
4 c flour
1/4 ts salt
1 TBS. baking powder
1 c creamy peanut butter
1 c butter; softened
1 c dark brown sugar
2 eggs
2/3 c corn syrup
Preheat oven to 325øF.
Sift flour, salt, and baking powder together. Set aside. In another
bowl, beat peanut butter, brown sugar, eggs, and corn syrup until
smooth. Slowly add flour mixture, and blend to form a smooth dough. Wrap
and refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours.
Divide dough in half. Working with one half at a time, roll on lightly
floured surface to 1/8 inch thickness for thin cookies, 1/4 inch for
thicker, softer cookies. Cut with cookie cutters. Bake on ungreased
cookie sheets for 8-10 minutes. Decorate with piped chocolate, royal
icing, or powdered-sugar icing, or enjoy plain. Makes 3 dozen.
