Several years ago I visited a Butterfly Garden near Charlotte, SC. It was the most amazing experience. When you enter into the garden, which is an enclosed space, you can actually feel the silence. The butterflies glide through the air gracefully and if you’re very still they will land on you as if you’re a natural part of their world. There are no words to describe the peace and wonder that surrounded me as these magnificent and beautiful creatures went about their business.

“Imagine the butterfly’s journey ... from an earth-bound creature to a winged messenger of beauty.” Kasha

The memory of the Butterfly Garden is always on my mind when I make butterfly cookies. I’m hoping that I can capture a little bit of that world for the people who receive my cookies. When a friend was experiencing a very difficult time, I decided that she needed Butterfly Cookies and Tea. These little beauties were a welcome gift that made the struggle a bit more bearable.

Cookie specifics

What I’ve learned...

These cookies were made with the best ingredients I could find and baked in a small batch of two dozen. I’ve experimented with less expensive ingredients, but have come to the conclusion that flavor is best when I use the best. Why spend all this time baking and decorating if taste and texture are just so-so? Decorating the cookies takes time, but it’s an enjoyable process for me and I know that those who receive them appreciate that. Life is just better when you can share something you love with someone you love. Don’t you agree?
