It’s almost time for Groundhog Day (again)! No, not the Bill Murray movie, but the cute little furry dude in Pennsylvania that we hold our breath to see each year – Punxsutawney Phil!

Now, of course, he’s not always accurate in his weather predictions, but really… what are we expecting from a groundhog?! Now that we’ve moved from the cold, snowy state of North Dakota to oh-so-warm Texas, the so-called “six more weeks of winter” can’t ever really be a threat. Instead, I’ll just look forward to seeing ol’ Phil on the big screen each year. 😉

But today I’m sharing him in cookie version! And I’m so excited to not only share my creation with you, but also those of a few other über-talented cookie friends! 🙂

My sweet cookie pal – Pam, of CookieCrazie – donates all the money received from her cookie sales to charity. Specifically, to the Ukraine missions sponsored by her church! And in addition to that, she designed a set of cookie cutters that raise even more money for the Ukraine missions! To help promote the cutters, she asked me to be a part of a collaboration using her new cupcake cutter in a creative way.

Now, I stared at the cutter for a while. I mean, it’s really a perfect CUPCAKE, ya know? I turned it this way & that, trying to come up with something unique. I flipped it upside-down, and I stared at it some more. Finally, I could see something new! I set to work, icing my heart out!

When I was finished with the cookies, I showed them to my oldest son & asked him what he thought. He took a glance, then said, “Why did you make BEAVER cookies?” My heart sunk! I mean, he might be right, especially when looking at the details…

But… if I were going to make BEAVER cookies, I surely would have included a tell-tale waffle TAIL! And wooden planks. Perhaps a dam, too? I figured the dirt & grass in my cookie was a good clue!

I showed the cookie to a few others, and they assured me it was a GROUNDHOG at first glance. Whew, I think that perhaps my guys are just “crazie.” 😉

It is now my privilege to share with you the “crazie” creative ways that all my other cookier friends came up with for this same cutter. Check out this amazing collage!
