Fiesta Cookies for my Fortieth

I said adios to my thirties last week and along with that farewell, I was also able to say hola to my forties! What better way to say hello to this new chapter of my life than with fiesta themed cookies to celebrate my fortieth! I have never made cookies for myself, but I figured with this milestone, I deserved to treat myself. Plus, I just LOVE all fiesta themed designs and decorations, so creating cookies to fit my theme was just so much fun!

I am no stranger to making cookies with this theme, so I did recreate a couple designs, but this time around I added a couple of new fun designs. The tostada cookie in particular was inspired by a talented fellow cookier, Melissa from Cakeology by Mel. When I saw this cookie that she created, I knew I had to try my hand at it, and it fit in perfectly with my theme! 

Finally, the donkey piñata was designed to combine both the customary piñata silhouette with the traditional serape blanket pattern. Then to personalize it, I added a 40 surrounded by a couple rosettes. I really loved this cookie and it is probably my favorite design!

This was such a fun set to create and I look forward to the next set of fiesta cookies I get to design!

Taco 'bout a sweet 40th birthday!
