It was an itsy bitsy teenie weenie purple polka dot cookie! Now, I dare you to not have that song running through your head. That's the exact tune that was stuck in my head while I was making these. You see, I didn't have apricot jam, so I used raspberry preserves - there're my purple polka dots. And then, I decided that since I've been baking up a storm, I needed to downsize my cookies into a cute little one or two bites - there's the itsy bitsy teenie weenie. Therefore, they're my IBTWPPD cookies. Because I really am not willing to type that out even one more time :)
I halved the recipe and made cookies using only one teaspoon of dough per cookie, giving myself 38 adorable little cookies which baked up quite nicely in 7-8 minutes. Well, 30 adorable little cookies. The first eight, I didn't realize how little the cookies spread, so they ended up looking like speckled rocks rather than flat and cookie-like. Tasty, just not cookie-like enough for me. What can I say? I'm picky when it comes to my cookies!
And what did I do with all of these IBTWPPD cookies? Weelllll... I brought most of them into work... But a couple of them paired perfectly with my raspberry tea one afternoon this weekend while I decided what to make for dinner. What? You really thought I'd resist them? Thanks Heather, for picking such a different cookie - I think I'm proof that they're irresistable!

Cute. They look totally different than mine and I like yours better. Not one I would make again.
So cute! And now I have that song in my head! But it's okay, because for some reason I have been singing Copa Cabana all morning and this is a welcome change! :)
Too cute. I love the fun look you gave your cookies!
Your cookies are so cute! Everything is better when it's made miniature.
Not only are your cookies cute but so are you! :)
Ciao ! I love your polka dots mini cookies !!
Like all the raspberry touches. The mini are so precious! Did you press down your tops? They look more cookie than the way mine were finished.
Fun and cute. I love it. I debated using raspberry jam just because I like it better. The color is a bit more festive. Did you flatten the dough before baking? Yours are a lot more flatten out than mine.
People don't seem to turn down cookies no matter what they're like, huh! I need to find somewhere/someone to give mine to.
Such pretty cookies with the 'poka dots'!
They look delicious!
I wish I did raspberry, yours look great. I love the shot with the book and the tea, so pretty!
I bet they were fabulous with that raspberry tea. They look so fun!
LOL LOL From the pics, I was thinking you used those for studying energy!
Nice of you to bring such nice IBTWPPD cookies to work!
Too cute!
TCASC! (That's "these cookies are so cute"!) Great job!
Mmm, I bet these were great with the raspberry tea.
I can always count on you to make wee little things! So cute!
Awww those are very nice! I love the specks of jam! pretty pretty!
They were teenie-weenie weren't they?
I loved them.
Very cute. Mine sort of looked like they had the measles. And the mini trend continues. ;-)
how cute! now i wish i had made tiny cookies too!
Gosh they're cute! And raspberry was delicious I bet!
You tickle me with your itsy bitsy foods. Always a joy to see what you have done. They are too cute! Weren't they just the best tasting cookie for a "spot of tea" as they say?
Your ibtwppd cookies look great. Here is a link showing what the apricot paste looks like. Rutherford&Myer
Cute! although I think the tiny size would have actually tempted me to eat more, LOL.
Okay, I tried, but your song is still not replacing Run Run Rudolph in my head...I hope there is help for it soon. LOL. Your cookies look absolutely delicious...raspberry being one of my favorite flavors...and the little dots just make them more endearing, don't they? Love the photos this week...I just want to sit down, pick up that tea, a cookie, and read that book in a chair by the fireplace NOW. Very nice.
Your cookies are adorable!
I agree - these cookies weren't "cookie" enough. The biscuit flavour was just not appetizing enough, as far as cookies go.
Your cookies look great! I'm so glad we made these this week because I was madly in love with mine :)
These would be great with raspberry tea! I thought they needed a little extra something. But I love how you super-minied them! And thanks for the IBTWPPD song that's now floating around in my head :-)
Love the little polka dot cookies. Great idea about making them small. Maybe I should start doing that! That way if I eat four its only two. HMMMM Great idea.
They look great!! Wish my Jam had added some more color to mine like yours. :)
Great idea to make mini cookies. I love the little pink color peeking through. Im glad you liked them and were able to share them with your coworkers.
I knew these cookies had some great color potential. I'm totally going to have to mess around with all the jam options for these.
yum, raspberry cookies and raspberry tea -- perfection :) they are adorable!
Cute itty-bitties...and for a cookie I claimed not to like all that much, they did disappear very quickly at our house too...
I made tiny ones too, but yours turned out much cuter! Yum- your jam choice sounds delish!
Love these! And yeah, I ate a bunch too, and I generally always take them into work. Nice job! And I hate you for putting that song in my head. Why not make "It's a Small World After All" cookies next week?
oh, they're so cute! and love how you made them on the smaller side, so that they're more nibbles than they are hefty-cookie-like. very precious mini cookies :)
I agree - not very cookie like. I am pleased you liked them. I wasnt so keen
Those cookies are adorable and I love the little polka dots of color. I think that miniature anything is cute so I love the idea of making them smaller and I'm going to try that next time!
So cute! I love that last picture!!

bet your coworkers were glad to get these IBTWPPD cookies. they were perfect with tea.
Cute polka dots!
Your cookies look so cute. Raspberry sounds yummy too. ;-)
I think bite size is way more addicting than 3 or 4 bites. Rationalization that they are small so you can eat MORE....that's it! Then they bite you back. Yours look and sound delish. Glad you were surprised by them.

Your raspberry jam cookies are cute and pink. Mine had a kind of funky purple-grey tinge.
They look so pretty with the " itsy bitsy teenie weenie purple polka dots". And they sound fantastic paired with that raspberry tea :)
Raspberry Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny cookies and raspberry tea - perfect!
I love that song. :) Cutest cookies ever is all I have to say. :)
Your cookies look great and they must be very tiny! I also made a half batch and I thought mine were small but I only got 21 cookies out of it.
I'm glad you enjoyed them. Maybe if I were a tea or coffee drinker I'd have a different view of them, but generally I like a cookie that really stands on its own (no dunking, sipping, etc.)
They are so cute and tiny! Seeing them next to the book really puts them in perspective. Great job, Caitlin.
Your little cookies are soooo cute and so perfectly round! I love them!
Very cute! I'm sure I would have liked mine better if they were smaller.
Your cookies are adorable! I love the smaller size...you can eat more that way!
Love the title and your perfect-holiday-color flecks!!
I missed this week but I'm enjoying hearing about the different jams everyone used- I would have probably gone with raspberry like you
I love you mini everything. When you figure out how to mini a mini-muffin, I will truly be in awe.
Love your mini cookies. You could teach Chrysler a thing or two about downsizing!
They ARE cute. I'm with you on down-sizing the amount and the size of these recipes - I'd be as big as a barn if I didn't!
sooooooo cute! now you have that song in my head!
Adorable! They look so cute in that small size.
Polka dots! They look adorable piled on the little dish. Sounds like the perfect accompaniment for raspberry tea.
Yum! These sound so scrumptious, especially with the raspberry tea!
your cookies look really cute with purple porka dots. :-)
I used raspberry preserves too! I love the little polka dots!!! Yours are adorable!
I love your bite-sizes IBTWPPD cookies! Now I have that song stuck in my head. Thanks!
These sound like the perfect pairing with raspberry tea! What a great afternoon snack. :)
Your cookies look super cute and since I am a week behind with my TWD they have inspired me to try raspberry instead of apriot!
Cute cookies and such a cute name for your post. Mine spread a lot too.
