Please Eat the Wrapping Paper (cookies inspired by Paper Source)

Have you ever been to a Paper Source shop? Oh, they are so beautiful..and fun...and inspiring.

I don't get to ours very often because it's about 45 minutes away and in a pretty dangerous part of town. By dangerous, I mean, it's next door to Sprinkles Cupcakes and just a few steps away from Crate and Barrel. See what I mean?

Well, Paper Source has the most beautiful wrapping paper sheets. I've used them before for photo backgrounds, like for these Homemade Oreos:

And for these Posie Cakes:

When I saw this wrapping paper, I decided to use it ON an cookie. Well, not the wrapping paper itself, the wrapping paper printed onto a frosting sheet.

So, that's just what I did.

I scanned the wrapping paper.
printed it onto a frosting sheet,
baked the cookies (remember these?),

(you can see a bit of the rough edges from the trimming)

outlined and filled the cookies with white royal icing,
plopped on the edible images,
and added a few details.

That's it! These went to school with kiddo for his teacher's birthday. I hope he didn't tell her she was eating wrapping paper. I guess we will find out when report cards come home. ;)
