Last weekend with all the Super Bowl hype going on, I made some cookies for a local chiropractic center that was celebrating its 10th anniversary.  I love being able to work with local businesses.  The Prescott community is always so wonderful.  This order was the second time that I made gluten free cookies.  I'm always nervous when I make gluten free items because I never know how they are going to turn out.  I used King Arthur gluten free flour.  I purchased the measure-for-measure kind (you don't need to change your recipe proportions) and it worked perfectly.  I stamped the back of the cookies with GF to differentiate the gluten free from the regular cookies.

Replicating a logo can be challenging.  I was very lucky this time that the most difficult thing about Synergy's logo was the writing.  For the logo cookie, I combined a circle with one of these rectangles.  I piped the grey word "Synergy", but the orange "Wellness Center" was really small.  I didn't want the piping to get sloppy so I used an orange food coloring marker to write Wellness Center.  I always worry when I use food coloring markers that clients will think that I cheated and took the easy way out.  I just went with it this time and I'm very happy with how it turned out.

Synergy wanted a cookie that said "10th anniversary".  I knew that I would put it on some kind of plaque, but didn't knew exactly which one.  When I went to Synergy's website to reference their logo, I saw that they had a banner with 10th anniversary next to their logo.  The light bulb went off in my head that I should replicate that on a cookie.  The banner cutter came from this set.  I piped and flooded it orange to match the banner on the website.  Once dry, I airbrushed polka dots on the banners and then piped the wording on.

I couldn't make cookies for a chiropractic center and not make spine cookies.  I was most excited about making these cookies.  I used this rectangle cutter (3x5 inches).  When I cut out the rectangle, I cut it in half to make two small rectangles.  I went with a green background to contrast all the orange in the other cookies.  I used this piece of clip art as my guide for piping the spine.  I piped two lines and had small dots coming off the lines.  This created a majority of the spine.  The neck was most difficult part of the spine.  I think many of the spines were not anatomically correct.  They either had way to many or few vertebrae.  Once the spines dried, I used black food coloring to paint on the details.
