Smart Cookies

Fancypants Cookies

From pug puppies to baby’s bottoms, there are about a million things that are so cute you could just eat them up. Except that they’re not particularly edible.

But sometimes you actually can have your cute and eat it, too.

Fancypants Bakery hand-decorates their buttery shortbread cookies with ridiculously adorable icing designs. You’ll be addicted to the quarter-pounders after one bite, whether you’re munching a yellow spring chick, a smiley green frog, or a bright birthday balloon.

The bakery also customizes cookies for nearly every occasion. So before you know it, you’ll be celebrating shoe sales, Flag Day, and your second cousin’s friend’s aunt’s daughter’s three-day weekend from preschool.

Ain’t life sweet?

Available at City Feed and Supply, 66 Boylston Street, Jamaica Plain (617-524-1657 or fancypantsbakery.com).
