Dublin Farmers' Market June 29th

The Dublin Farmers' Market was fantastic yesterday!  The great weather brought lots of folks out to shop! I got to bring my two boys with me and it turned out to be a blast! They munched on cucumbers and cherry tomatos from VanScoy Farms, raspberries from Rhoads farms, beef sticks from Oink Moo Cluck Farms, chugged apple cider from Hirsch Fruit Farm...and of course cookies from Ly-Ly's! They were great little helpers! I think they actually enjoyed themselves too!

New to the market this week....Chocolate Brownie Cookie. This one is a keeper! Sold out in a heartbeat and was told they was the best chocolate cookie Ever! 

Wow! 

I'm lovin that!

Also...Oatmeal Cookies with Chocolate Chips, Raisins, and Macadamia Nuts. 

Not too many pictures of those but...

Here they are 'live' from the market along with 

Firecracker Sugar Cookies! POP!

 

Ly-Ly's will not be at the Dublin Market July 6th so...

Happy 4th of July to Everyone!

Ice Cream Cone Cookie

 

Strawberry Shortcake Cookie

Last week I ventured out to Old Hillard to check out the Hillard Farmer Market located downtown at the corner of Main and Center Streets. Old Hillard has a great small-town feel and a great market! If your around old Hillard you can catch them every Tuesday in June, July and August from 4-7:00. I bumped into some friends there-- the Hirsch Fruit Farm folks, Oink Moo Cluck, Blue Jacket Dairy, and Rhoads Farms. These are friends who can also be found, along with me, every Wednesday May and Sept, 4:30-6:30 and June, July, and August, 3:30-6:30 at the Dublin Farmer's Market in Historic Dublin.

I got some awesome fruits and veggies while there -- strawberries, raspberries, sugar snap peas, and beets. It all looked so beautiful and fresh...I should have taken a picture. The strawberries were especially beautiful and I felt inspired to incorporate them into a cookie. Here is the recipe I tried for Strawberry Shortcake Cookies. I did add a little more strawberries and cream than what the recipe called for.

 

One heaping cup of strawberries...

 

Organic Pure Cane Sugar and lemon juice...

 

 Local amish butter cut into dry ingredients with a pastry cutter.

Local organic whole wheat flour, organic unbleached flour, aluminum-free baking powder, sea salt.

 Add cream...                                                                

 

then add the strawberries and drop dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment. 

Sprinkle with sugar and bake until golden brown, 24 to 25 minutes.

 Eat!!! Mmmmmm...

With the left over cream I decided to make some whip cream to top them.

Organic cream and sugar... pure bourbon vanilla...  and a bit of the juice that was left at the bottom of the bowl of strawberry, sugar and lemon mixture...Whip it.

I love to try new recipes! If you've got one you'd like me to try just email me. 

I'd love to hear from you!      heatherlylys@gmail.com

Plaid Bunnies

Hippity Hoppity...plaid bunnies!

 

Carrots

The kids won't argue about scarfing these veggies down! But...better to save these for an after dinner snack. Not quite supper substance but as good for you as they possibly can be for an after dinner treat. I made these with the same ingredients I always use in all my cookies -- Local, Organic and nothing artificial!

 

                     CUT-OUT SUGAR COOKIE

Local Organic Whole Wheat Flour (Stutzman Family Flour Mill), Organic Unbleached Flour, Organic Pure Cane Sugar, Local Amish Butter (Minerva Dairy), Local Eggs (Holistic Acres Eggs--free range, no hormones, no antibiotics), Pure Bourbon Vanilla, Aluminum-free Baking Powder, Sea Salt

ICING

Pure Cane Confectioners Sugar, Local Milk (Snowville Creamery),  Corn Syrup,  Pure Bourbon Vanilla,  Plant-Derived Food Coloring

Custom Order

I love custom orders! First of all, I the love the challenge. Second, I enjoy the extra time and effort it takes to really do it up right with special care to details. These hand painted Little Ladies went out yesterday to a very special little girl who is about to turn one year old. Happy Birthday!

These auburn-haired Little Ladies went out last week. They were individually wrapped party favors at a graduation party. The client was so creative! She used ornament stands to hang six cookies at each table! I'm flattered to have my cookies featured as centerpieces...how awesome is that?!

Check out the great feedback I got:

Heather,

Just wanted to let you know the cookies were very well received.  My daughter loved them and everyone who attended our graduation celebration thought they were  adorable and so unique!

I used them as centerpieces.  We put ribbons on each one and hung them from black,  18” table ornament display stands.  Each black stand held six cookies and they were so cute, each cookie hanging freely at various heights. 

Thanks again

Chris

Thanks Chris!
