Corgi Cookies

How to make Corgi Cookies







The recipe is simple.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups butter, softened
• 2 cups white sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt

Directions:
Cream together butter and sugar in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt. Cover and chill the dough for at least an hour.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Roll out dough on a floured surface 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick (I find it helpful to flour the ball of dough first too). Cut into shapes with cookie cutter(s).
Place cookies 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets and bake for 6 to 8 minutes (It took only 6 minutes for me).
Cool completely before decorating.

Frosting:

• I doubled the below recipe, which was also from All Recipes.
• 1 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar
• 3 tablespoons butter, softened
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon milk

For color, split up the frosting into smaller bowls, and used a combination of green, red, and yellow food color to make brown frosting. There is no magic amount of drops of each color. Instead, you really just have to experiment to get the shade that you want. Then you also made a pale yellow frosting, and leave some white. For black, I bought a premade black decorating gel.

Facts About Pembrokes

Attitude

     The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is an intelligent herding breed, yet "Pems," as they are sometimes called, make excellent companions and family dogs as well. They are people-oriented and like to be part of family life. Playful, gentle and friendly, they are great with well-mannered youngchildren, though they might try to herd them by nipping at their heels. The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is so intelligent, and is such a quick learner, that he really needs a job to do. This is why they truly thrive on farms. However, if given the proper amount of exercise (and a lot is needed), they can live anywhere.

They are a truly versatile breed. While many of them are currently working on farms, there are just as many Pems serving as therapy dogs, and performing in the agility ring. A Pembroke Welsh Corgi is usually very protective, and very vocal, so they make great watchdogs. But be prepared: sometimes they like to bark just to amuse themselves. They love to go for walks, and are naturally curious. They are always eager to explore new sights and smells. They are sensitive and in tune with their humans, very sensitive to their moods, and have been known to try to "cheer up" a sulky owner. In fact, many Pembroke Welsh Corgi owners claim their dog has a great sense of humor. A Pem likes to pretend he is a lapdog. They are agreeable in a household: playful, sensitive, and rarely destructive. They housetrain easily.

Shedding

The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is a very heavy shedder. They shed an awful lot of hair! You'll find hair all over your home, stuck to everything! You'll probably even find it in the butter!

Grooming

The Pembroke Welsh Corgi only requires an occasional brushing. But because they shed excessively you may find yourself brushing them daily to remove loose hair. (What you get out with a brush doesn't fall out in your home!)

Corgis Becoming Endangered?!

     In today’s edition of worst possible news ever: Corgis — the dogs popular among the entire Internet and, of course, Queen Elizabeth — could soon earn a place on the endangered breed list. The stubby-legged bundles of cuteness are now on Britain Kennel Club’s “at watch” list and are set to be classified as a “vulnerable native breed” by January.
     The club said only 241 Pembroke Welsh Corgis were registered this year, and it seems unlikely that they’ll reach the 300 registrations needed to stay off the vulnerable breeds list.

The club says this decline correlates with the rise in popularity of smaller foreign breeds, like French bulldogs.
     The Daily Telegraph, however, blames the decline on a 2007 ban on tail-docking, the practice of cutting off part of the animal's tail. The Telegraph reports that many breeders say they can’t achieve the desired corgi look without tail-docking, and so many have simply given up on the breed. So, it’s probably a combination of factors — horrible, terrible, no-good factors — that are coming together to try to wipe out our precious Corgis.
     Of course, it’s the viral content factory BuzzFeed that will probably take this news the hardest, as the site’s business model can be summed up as “mo corgis mo money.” -Samantha Grossman (Samantha is an associate producer for TIME and a graduate of Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism.)

                              Finn
     When Finn was a tiny puppy, he one day discovered he could fit behind the couch! He would hang out back there and take naps for hours. Finn is such a crazy Corgi then when Finn would have his insane nightly FRAP sessions, he would run around the living room, darting underneath the coffee table and then running behind the couch and then out the other side. This puppy was all over the place! This playful puppy has grown to be a big, lovable, handsome Corgi!

Mojo (Follow on Instagram: @mojojiggles)

 



                                Mojo
 The first week that Mojo was brought home (only 8 weeks old), he was always super curious! This one time, his owner decided the howl to see what he would do and he cocked his little puppy head and sprinted towards his owner and "tackled" them. I say it in quotes because he was as small as your hand! It was a good attempt for as big as he was though. Every time Mojo's owner howls at him, he will ALWAYS run to them! Even if Mojo is playing, or eating, or having his daily FRAP session! The only conclusion that his owner could come up with is that Mojo is part Corgi and part wolf!

Maddie

Lady Madison McAlpine, or Maddie, was a Pembroke Welsh Corgi that lived to be 5 years old. She was a very loved Corgi in my family. We got her when she was just a puppy in 2005 for Christmas. We were all very excited to get her, because she was our first dog (that we actually remembered having). We didn't know until years later that Maddie had what was called Addisons Disease. During the rest of her years, it made her extremely weak. It got to the point where she couldn't even get up to eat or get water. The night came where we just didn't know what to do anymore.

We didn't know how much longer she was going to be with us. My mom was previously in the hospital from a collapsed lung, so there was no one to get the pills that Maddie needed to take. The night my mom got out of the hospital, Maddie was laying on the back porch, not moving, and we were all very scared. My mom was all high off of her pain medicine, so she was suppose to take it easy, but that's not what she did. My mom and I drove to my grandpa's house to get the pills Maddie needed. (For some reason my grandpa took the same pills as Maddie.) It was extremely dangerous, but it was all for Maddie, she's part of the family. Unfortunately, this story doesn't have a happy ending. Maddie passed away that night before we could get back with the pills. To this day she is still remembered for all the good times she's had. She had so many great qualities and even though she was just a Corgi, she was my best friend.

Maddie used to have so much fun sliding on the tile when it was time to go outside. She had no grip on it so, of course, she always ended up sliding face first into the sliding glass door. Maddie didn't get along well with other people, because she saw everyone as a threat to me and my family and always tried to protect us. She didn't see herself as a small dog.

She always went after the big dogs at the park with the mindset that she was bigger. She always left the little ones alone though.
     There were some times where she really got under my skin, but I had no choice but to love her. There has been times when I've come home from school to see all the cords to my game consoles chewed in half. Or on Christmas when she decided to open everyone's gifts for them. Or when I left my bubble gum out and came home to find it all over my room in wads.
