Semper Fi! (said with cookies)
Last year, my friend Nicole contacted me with a special request. Her oldest baby was set to join the United States Marines, and she needed cookies for his send-off party. We met as Air Force wives, and although it was the “wrong” branch of service, I was happy to oblige. I was also obligated to shed just a few tears with my friend in the process, too. π
Now, this post is looooooong overdue, because Jacob has now been a fully-fledged Marine for over 9 months!
And these little uniformed dudes are my favorite cookies of the whole bunch! Seriously, sugared icing makes a Marine uniform go from sexy to adorable instantly! π
And of course, the famous (but not easy!) Marines logo:
And then a much easier take on the Marines, to offset the difficulty of the previous cookie:
And then just a few golden eagles & personalized dog tags to round out the rest of the cookie assortment, too.
And I know that Nicole is SO PROUD of her handsome & courageous young Marine, and I wish Jacob the very best in his military career. SEMPER FI! β₯

Congratulations to Jacob! I’m wondering if his Mom Carol cried when she saw these cookies you made for his graduation. I know I would have, they are stunning!
Aww, thank you! π
These are amazing! Would you mind sharing where you found the dog tag and marine/person cookie cutter?
Thanks!

You are so talented! These are exactly what I was looking for my sons USMC Boot Camp graduation party. Can you tell me what the cost would be for 2 dozen of these darling cookies sent to California?
Michela, I tried to send you an email to the address used to leave this comment, but it was returned as undeliverable. I do hope you come back & see this reply! Be sure to respond in a new EMAIL to me, as comments here on the blog/website are unreliable.
The USMC assortment of cookies is $48/dozen ($4/each). This assortment includes a variety of unique and fun designs, as well as some that can also be personalized (skin tone for uniformed soldier, name or phrase for dog tags, a special message cookie, if desired). Once you let me know the total quantity needed, I create a fun spread of the designs across that number of cookies. I would need the following information to start:
Skin tone –
Name or phrase –
Special Message (optional, if desired) –
Shipping is additional, based on the mailing location. If you will send along your mailing address, I’ll be happy to give you a complete quote.
Lastly, I will need to know the specific date you will need cookies to arrive, too.
Thanks for thinking of my cookies! Please let me know if you have any further questions. π
