I only recommend stuff I actually use and love — like, obsessively love. Thanks for supporting my cookie-decorating habit. 💕

You know what my favorite thing is while I’m decorating cookies? Listening to Audible books.

Like, give me a fresh tray, a piping bag, a transfer sheet, and a book that makes me feel like I’m actually getting my life together — that’s my happy place.

It’s how I learn new things, get my creative brain buzzing, or just escape while I’m drowning in dishes and royal icing.

Over the years, I’ve found some really good audible books for cookie decorators — books that keep you motivated, inspired, and entertained while your hands are covered in icing.

Sometimes it’s business inspo. Sometimes it’s just fun. But it’s always the thing that keeps me from rage-quitting during batch #7.

So if you want something good to listen to while you decorate (or drive, or do literally anything), here’s a list of books I’ve loved lately. You’re gonna be obsessed. 👇

Influencer – Brittany Hennessy Girl. If you're trying to build a brand or grow on social, this one gives real advice, not fluff. Total behind-the-scenes tea.	Big Magic – Elizabeth Gilbert This one hits deep. If you ever feel scared to start or stuck creatively, this will light you up. A total warm hug for your artistic soul.
Get Good with Money – Tiffany Aliche This one's like a money pep talk from your smartest friend. It breaks things down so clearly — especially if you’re trying to turn cookies into coins.	Be Seen – Jen Gottlieb Feeling scared to show up? This book says, “POST IT ANYWAY.” Great for getting out of your own head and getting visible.c
Fair Play – Eve Rodsky For when you’re doing literally everything and want to scream. This book will make you feel seen — and maybe start a convo with your partner 👀.	Greenlights – Matthew McConaughey Y’all. This is weirdly motivating. It’s like listening to a cowboy-poet life coach with a sexy voice while you decorate.
Find Your Unicorn Space – Eve Rodsky SO good for reminding you that your creativity matters. Like, yes, your cookie art is legit. Yes, you deserve time for it.	We Should All Be Millionaires – Rachel Rodgers If you need a reminder that you are WORTHY of wealth and success — this one will have you feeling powerful AF by chapter 2.
You Are a Badass at Making Money – Jen Sincero It’s woo + tough love, and it WORKS. It’ll make you want to raise your prices and stop apologizing for selling your art. And the story the author tells about her mom had me rolling!	Everything Is Figureoutable – Marie Forleo Seriously the book that makes you believe you can actually do the dang thing — even when it feels impossible.
