Silver Dove Cookies

One of our deacons celebrated his Silver Anniversary as a deacon this year and that called for cookies, of course. Why doves? Well, doves bring to mind peace and inspiration and are a common symbol of the Holy Spirit. And silver, of course, is traditionally associated with a 25TH anniversary. So those two elements naturally inspired these dove-shaped cookies decorated with silver embellishments. Thank you for your service, Deacon! May you continue to be filled with God’s grace.

“Here am I, Lord, here I am. I come to do your will.” Rory Cooney, Responsorial Psalm 40

While planning out this project, I knew I wouldn’t be able to avoid the look of a wedding anniversary, so I embraced it! I used both a small and a large dove cookie cutters. The small doves were given as gifts to all those attending the reception and the large doves highlighted the Silver Anniversary theme.

Why Silver?
Because silver is a precious and durable metal...

it represents the precious and long lasting nature of a couple’s marriage. But it can also be used to commemorate other important 25-year milestones. A quarter of a century is a long time to be committed to any relationship or endeavor. Let’s celebrate that with cookies!

 

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?
