A couple of weeks ago Mr NQN and I were both going to see the doctor. Not for anything serious but because I had purchased a deal from one of those discount websites. It was for a deal to visit a back doctor to get an Xray and then a massage. Of course I just bought it because I am a massage monster-I love them to bits. After waiting 6 weeks for an appointment we turned up and they did some Xrays and we had our massage. A few weeks later we returned to get our results.
Now this is where the difference between Mr NQN and I lies. He’s a sportsman and I am anything but. His natural instinct is to compete on everything. Mine isn’t although I become a fierce competitor if you get me on a topic that I care about and then Franck Eggelhoffer emerges and I must make something faaabulous (or I get very agitated if I don’t guess the answers on “Letters and Numbers”). Most other things I don’t give a hoot about and I don’t care who “wins”.
The doctor told him his back results and they were good. He was triumphant and grinning like a monkey. The doctor then turned to me and told me that my back was a mass of problems. I knew it would be, I’ve been wearing heels long before I should have and I’ve had a bad slip that had me on my back for two weeks. Mr NQN being the natural competitor looked happy at getting better test results until he heard her tell me that I had one leg that was slightly shorter than the other by less than 1cm!
That wiped that competitive grin off his face. Although apparently it is quite a common occurrence and you can’t tell if you see me as my back had somehow compensated for it by building extra bone, it actually helped to explain the pain in my back and he started feeling sorry for me. And now I have an official excuse to ask for massages and be a general pain in the bottom! I’ve used the short leg excuse at least a dozen times asking him cheekily to do some housework “because of course you know I have one leg slightly shorter than the other honey…” 
I may be joking but someone that hasn’t been seriously well has been my lovely literary agent Miss S. I called the agency the other day and they told me that she had been intensive care and had been there for a couple of weeks and was about to be discharged to go home. I rang her mother whom she was staying with while recuperating, to see whether she was ok and asked what she could eat-my first instinct is to bake but some patients are on restrictive diets. She wasn’t on a particular diet but her mother suggested sending a card and said that that would mean a lot to her.
But of course I was determined to do a bit more than that and wanted to bake. So I thought about it and wondered how I could combine a card with something baked and able to be sent. I discarded ideas of cakes-I mean have you ever tried to send a cake by post? I looked at the dining room table which was scattered with scrabble tiles. I thought how about Scrabble cookies? She was obviously a wordsmith given her job and I knew that she read voraciously. Also I figured that even if she couldn’t eat them she could play Scrabble with them (inserting a rule that you can eat a Scrabble tile if you feel it useless) or use them to communicate like above.
The recipe below is my usual sugar cookie recipe-it’s actually very simple to do and one of the easiest cookies I have made although the dipping and writing requires some time to set. The quantity of dough makes enough for an entire Scrabble set’s worth (100 tiles). I stuck the letters to send a Get Well message onto the front of the card with more royal icing and popped it in a box along with the rest of the “tiles” and sent it express post to the recovering patient. I received the loveliest thank you note from her and they were quite a hit with her mother too!
So tell me Dear Reader, are you or your partner a competitive person? And what topic makes you very competitive?
Scrabble Cookies
An original recipe by Not Quite Nigella
For cookies
- 85 g/3ozs butter, softened
- 140g/5ozs/3/4 cup white caster superfine sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 180g/6ozs/1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour plus extra for rolling
- Royal icing mixture (see below)
- Kopykake edible writing pens (from Little Betsy Baker)
For Royal Icing
- 1 egg white (30grams/1 oz)
- 1-2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 150grams sifted icing sugar
DIRECTIONS
1. Make cookies. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla. Stir in the flour. Cover, and chill dough for at least one hour (or overnight).
2. Preheat oven to 200 degrees C/400 degrees F. Roll out dough on floured surface 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Cut into small rectangles with a ruler and knife-they spread a little so make them small-a scrabble tile is 18mm wide by 20mm tall. Place cookies 1 cm apart on parchment paper. Bake for 5 to 6 minutes in preheated oven. Cool completely.
3. Make Royal Icing by beating egg white with lemon juice until foamy on low speed increasing to medium speed and add sifted icing sugar. OR I make this in a little food processor which skips the step of sifting the icing sugar. I whizz the icing sugar to get rid of lumps and then add the egg white and lemon juice until I get a dippable consistency. It make a few air holes so I usually make it a few hours ahead of time and let it rest. Always cover your Royal Icing with cling wrap as it dries out easily. Dip the cookies in making sure to allow the drips to fall off completely-you have to be patient. Place aside to set for several hours (or overnight) until completely set. I always find it easier to run a knife or a clean finger along the side of the cookies to catch any inevitable errant drips while it is setting.
4. Once the icing is set completely hard, using the edible ink pens draw on the letters. Wikipedia has a list of the actual tile values and the number of tiles in each set if you want to be accurate (you know I had to be right? ).

I love Scrabble and I love these cookies Lorraine. You always make the cutest things and your ideas are so original!
Magda
Those scrabbles are a brilliant idea. Quite easy to make those tablets disappear mysteriously, esp letters that you don’t want:)
do you realise you could have 25 points if you wrote “get well zoon”? gorgeous idea!
T xx
So cute! I love this idea!
you are just so clever Lorraine! how wonderful are these, and just a lovely “bite size” too ! I dont think they would last very long in my house !! OHHH and by the way, i made your easy pear tea cake last night but substituted rhubarb and apple (pre cooked the rhubarb) for the filling and it was absolutely DIVINE!
So cute! I am a scrabble freak and have the deluxe edition with the board that has a turn-table! (And don’t get me started on my addiction to words with friends
)
Aww, cute – a lovely idea for Miss S. I can be competitive, but like you, it has to be something I give a hoot about.
How cool! Beats playing online Scrabble! LOL
I’m very competitive regardless of what. Hell, I compete with myself!
Lorraine, this is aboslutely adorable! What a fun and quirky idea! So glad you share with the world because with things like this you only inspire people
Wow! That’s a great idea and so sweet too!
I’ve played a bit of scrabble at school, but I’m loving the retro vintage look of your scrabble bored, we only get the newer ones
I hope your agent gets well soon!
OMGosh these are just a-mazing…I absolutely love the idea. If I was sick, I would love to receive these as a get well present.
And in regards to being competitive, I can be if it’s something I’m interested in – otherwise not really. I’m no good at sports and couldn’t care less!
Very clever. Sorry to hear about your back.
I love scrabble and these are so cute.
Cute! I love the idea and when they are used to create messages.
Cheers,
Rosa
What a wonderful get well gift for your literary agent!!! I think it’s so clever! Did you like it?
You’re not alone with the short leg thing either, after having years of back and neck issues, my doctor told me a couple of years ago I have one leg shorter than the other too, and like you, I use this as a good excuse for lots of massages
Thats cool. I was given chocolate scrabble for Christmas one year!!! We ate it before a winner could be found and i ate those awful letters like Q!!!!
Wow what a brilliant idea!! And such a lovely and thoughtful thing to do.
What a very thoughtful idea for a gift. And once again your attention to detail just floors me.
I love these! What a great idea and so easy to eat. You could eat the whole alphabet.
What a thoughtful and adorable batch of cookies! It’s no wonder they were so appreciated. Have you tried yoga for your back? Hope you get relief soon.
These are by far the best cookies i have ever seen! I am glad your XRays turned out with nothing seriously wrong
Amazing scrabble cookies. Sorry to hear about your back though.
My partner and I are both very competitive. Both argumentative too. Doesn’t help! haha.
But this is such a cute gift idea. Would be perfect for a scrabble lover.
Love this. Great idea to send mix of letters to a friend in need of cheering up to unscramble the letters. Thanks for another fun idea.
just love your scrabble biscuits..they are the epitome of gorgeousness..and scrabble is my all time favourite game..jane
Well done Lorraine.Your stories & recipes are very interesting & easy to follow. But most of all I love your photography!! What camera do you use & what lens for all your close ups? It’s either you have a great camera or you’re just a great photographer!I think the latter! well done!.
What a nice idea.
I was given a scrabble birthday cake this year and was over the moon as well.
Mister and I are quite competitive but it is a whole lot of fun.
It’s so original, I like it.
If scrabble was about eating cookies I’d beat the crap out of anyone. What a beautiful gesture this was
Great party trick! Love it.
What a sweet thought!!! Genius idea to send scrabble cookies to someone who’s recovering! So she can play with them and then eat them too! hehehe I LOVE these! Thanks for another great idea!
I had the same idea but using the colourway of ‘Words with friends’. I’m seriously addicted to that game!
What a sweet idea! And what a lovely friend you are!
You made me giggle & get teary with the one post, love the valid reason for plenty of massages, there’s nothing better.
Back probs, Lorraine – since I was born with them, don’t get me onto the subject
! I too kind’a laughed in the beginning ! Uhuh – stupid gal me!!! The scrabble tiles are fun – What if someone sweet-happy does pick on ‘x’, ‘z’ and ‘q’ as a quick sugar-fix tho’? Competetive? Not in sports – have never been able to be good in them. Mentally – oh yes, but basically with myself: can I do something better next week or month or year than I am able to today!
What a fabulous idea!! I love this – it’s so original , cute and quirky! xx
As usual, you are incredible…what an effort of love…they look fantastic. I, however, will not be putting these on my list!
That has to be the most clever get well card ever. Sorry about the bad back. I had back surgery a few years ago. Now I’m wondering if I have one short leg.
xoxo Mum
What a lovely idea, I adore scrabble but unfortunately no one in my family will play.
I wouldn’t say I am competitive, BUT if you argue with me and I know I am right I will goes to extraordinary lengths to show you that I am right.
I can sympathise about you leg as one of mine is shorter due to a work related back injury.
You clever sausage Lorraine! I love the scrabble tile cookie/cake idea.I take it you love playing Scrabble? Have you played “Words with Friends?” It’s an ipod/ipad app scrabble type word game.Great fun & highly addictive! I have 9 games going @ the moment but you can have as much or as little as you like…What’s the highest score you have ever achieved in a game of scrabble?
What a lovely present to send to someone who is unwell, that is lovely Lorraine
I would so play scrabble if all the pieces were edible!
What a great idea Lorraine! Maybe you should set a challenge with Mr NQN to see who makes the better recipe in our competition: http://www.bittongourmet.com.au/blog-competition
AAAaaah!!!! I love this!!!! Scrabble is my favorite board game…I’m such a nerd! This is such a nerdy cookie and I LOVE it to death!! Ahhh!
What a sweet friend you are Lorraine! I hope your friend is going to be alright, and it’s nothing further to deal with.
Not that I’m competitive at all!
I would use the short leg excuse too- actually I trick my daughter all the time ” Oh You’ll have to do it, I’ve got a bone in my leg” and she hasn’t tumbled it yet
Last week I had xrays, CT scans and MRIs as well, so I think I definitely win!
What a gorgeous idea! Such a personal gift is always so well received! You are so thoughtful!
This is such a cute idea!!
They look amazing! What a great idea to play scrabble with them hehe!
How creative! My son has one leg also shorter than the other by about 6mm from breaking his lower leg at age 13. He uses a wedge in his shoe but has lost his desire for athletic competition. I think we are all competitive in different avenues whether we realise it or not.
Fantastic idea!! And I didn’t discover that I was competitive until I did my MBA a few years ago, and heaven help me, it was a revelation. A type personality was hiding inside me, and I fear has not left. Trying not to be competitive re my daughter – I hate it when mother’s are competitive about their child’s intelligence/sporting prowess etc etc.
What a thoughtful gift! Those little cookies are adorable, and I love that you even have the point values on them. My mom is an avid Scrabble player- she’d love these.
How thoughtful and clever of you. What a sweet gift to give and to receive. Ironically, I do get competitive playing scrabble, one of my favorite games.
This is so cute, I have to pin on pinterest.
What a clever and thoughtful get well present – and beautifully executed. A little cookie love would make anyone feel better!
These are gorgeous Lorraine, and so thoughtful! I am addicted to ‘words with friends’ on my iPhone. I love winning
–L.
you may be the most brilliant, creative person I’ve ever encountered.
–I absolutely love these frosted letters. It makes me want to write some verse with those little suckers and then Devour them one by one.
Superb.
Elegant.
What a incredible gift for ANYBODY…. xx
I have seen scrabble cookies once before, but I love your rendition! Who wouldn’t love to recieve a card like this. I’m sure it made your friend feel better:) I also love how you displayed and photographed them, Lorraine:) Just fabulous!
These are awesome
such a great gift. I’m obsessed with Words with Friends at the moment so these are perfect 
Sorry to hear about yur back – It’s great that you’ve used it to your advantage (massages and whatnot!) but have you considered seeing a chiropractor about it?
I had that same issue, but when I saw my chiro, she pointed out that my legs were the same length, and that I had one hip higher than the other. She’s able to put it back ever 3 weeks when I see her. People who suffer back issues and sit all day at their computers often get twisted pelvis/other hip issues that can require ongoing maintenance.
Might be worth getting a second opinion?
That being said, who needs a second opinion on scrabble cookies? They’re universally a brilliant idea!
This is the most adorable idea ever! You are such a kind and varying sole!
Beautiful! I will be remembering this the next time some one close to me needs a pick me up!
I love that you went to so much trouble … I bet Miss S. loved them. Sorry about your back, actually most people have one leg shorter than the other so perhaps get a second opinion/proper diagnosis for your pain from another doctor. I have scoliosis, fibromyalgia, and ankylosing spondylitis (a form of inflammatory arthritis). Also had juvenile arthritis as a kid, but was only ever told one leg was shorter than the other and to suck it up baby! Early intervention may have helped. Hope you feel better soon. (PS baking shaped cookies totally does my back in).
What adorable cookies! Much as I’d love to bake them and use them in actual Scrabble play, my parents will probably scarf them down before anyone’s even taken a turn!
What a thoughtful baked gift, just perfect for a literary agency and a super cute idea as well.
You are hilarious and brilliantly mad in equal measures.
These are fantastic!
We’re competitive with some things. Today brought it out actually. It’s a competition on the first of every month to see who gives the ‘pinch and punch’ first.
I feel for your and the short leg, I have it too. Weekly visits to the chiro for my poor back. Apparently it’s hereditary.
TRIPLE WORD SCORE! I love Scrabble, and most wordy games…which so far, hasn’t earned me many points on the too-cool-for-school factor. These cookies would though!
Aww! Doctors are never fun!
Oh, Lorraine! You are too, too wonderful. What a lucky lady Miss S is! If only my grandpa liked Scrabble… hmm, do you think you could figure out a way to bake a Crib board?
Also, I’ve now decided that you and I need to add massages to our next skipping and singing date, and a game of Scrabble if you’re keen. Particularly as you wrote one of my favourite words ever on your cookie board: Soknjze. I was feeling rather soknjze today!

Oh no, you poor thing! 
Hi Tina-Thank you so much Tina!
Yes although it’s been ages since I have played. I actually bought tiles for styling and then happened to be looking at them when the idea struck. I have heard all about that but I’m almost a bit scared to start it as I know I’d be addicted! 
Hmm good question, I don’t remember! Mr NQN doesn’t like to play it so it has been a while!

Absolutely! And lol you made me lol at your comment re: Soknjze! Only you would know exactly what I mean 
I saw this off Bake350 and been dying to make some. They look lovely!
Interesting, a doctor’s deal with a massage thrown in… I guess that good to motivate people to get checked up regularly. The scrabble cookies are super cute!
Too clever and the world would be such a better place with more people like you Lorraine
. Such a lovely gesture, I’d love to have been at the receiving end of that parcel to see Miss S’s face when she opened it!
I don’t think I’m overly competitive but I do strive to do my best and try for Perfection when I do take something on.
Have you considered Pilates? It’s excellent for back pain.
Thats soo cute of u , trust u to come up with the most originally cute ideas , i love them all!
And u have the most amazingly artistic hands for this stuff!
Oh and yeah , do enjoy all those massages
Adorable!
I’m glad that you and Mr NQN are ok — and poor Miss S! She is a lucky lady though, to be the recipient of these lovely cookies. I’d have so much fun playing with them!
The scrabble cookies are adorable! Such a neat idea!
You are so clever, I absolutely love them. Sorry to hear of your back problems, hoping you can use for good more then pain!
What a lovely gesture! I love handmade gifts that people actually put some thought into.
Such a fun evening. I would be all over that kingfish!
Lorraine these are awesome!! I can be competitive but not really with games. I like to play for fun, like collecting all the house colours i like with monopoly :p
Heidi xo
I adore these, they are so cute! Brilliant. My dad loves Scrabble, perhaps I should make him some the next time I am in the States.
They are beyond adorable. I am sure that she loved them and felt completely blessed that you took the time.
Wow amazing – your attention to detail is fantastic! Am I being geeky thinking it would be really fun to actually play a game of scrabble with the cookies! and then eat them! Or maybe the winner gets to eat them…
oh these cookies make an awesome care package.
Oh Lorraine, as usual you’ve managed to make me laugh out loud (not good, considering I’m reading this at my desk while pretending to work……). This is SO true of me and my boyfriend (ESPECIALLY when we play scrabble – he prides himself on being feroiciously intelligent, and was so upset when I used to beat him every time). So much so that lately I’ve had serious health problems and have had to measure my breathing every day, and when I do, he does the same and is thrilled to be healthier than me. Silly thing!
And what adorable cookies! You are such a sweetheart for baking these for your agent when she’s unwell.
Briony xx
OMG cuteness! Love this idea, so simple yet very fun. R is a major Scrabble freak, he loves playing and unfortunately always beats me at it.
You know I always love the wonderfully creative treats you bake up. This is no exception. I love your inspiration.
Must be something about being married to half-Finns. Have a similar issue with my back/legs, and hubby is EXCEPTIONALLY competitive, especially on the sporting front.
Hi Lorraine! I too have a one leg slightly shorter. When I was seeing a chiro before he recommended shoes insert (orthotics?) made-to-measure for me to help even things out. It was specifically made for my height and my feet. Helped my back and it doesn’t hurt as often now. Maybe you should give it a try too…
And love those cookies!
Cheers, Marc
i’m a scrabble fiend, and i get way too competitive. these are outstanding in their creativity and detail–nice work!
Lorraine they are just adorable.
these cookies are so cute – quite a few people seem to be into scrabble on their iphones
Sorry to hear about your back being a mess but I hope you were comforted to know you have a healthy man to look after you
Hi Jenny-Oh cool! I must go and have a look at theirs!
Hi shirley-I know, they’re clever aren’t they!
Thank you!
Hi Matilda-Aww thank you so much!
I know, I love seeing people’s faces! Yes I think that describes me. I want it to be perfect and if it means competing
with someone else, so be it. I have heard that and I should really give it a go
Hi Mia-Thanks Mia!
You are too kind! Hehe I will, massages are my favourite thing!
Hi Hanna-Thank you!
Hi Faith-Yes I know, the poor thing! Hehe yes and she can always eat the letters that she doesn’t want
Hi 5 Star Foodie-Thanks very much Natasha!
Hi muppy-Aww thanks Muppy!
Yes I wish it just fix itself!
Hi Phuoc-Thanks so much! I hope she liked them
Hi marla -Haha oh cool, I think this was for the sake story
Hi Heidi-Thanks Heidi!
Yes I get a bit weirded out by super competitive people! xxx
Hi Nuts about food -THanks so much Fiona!
Oh what a nice idea!
Hi Kelley-Thanks babe! I hope so too
Hi Kerry-Thank you Kerry!
Not at all! I think so too! 
Hi wizzy-Thanks so much Wizzy!
Hi Briony-Hehe cool!
They really get upset don’t they? Oh no darling, are you ok? 
So sorry to hear that! xxx
Hi Su-yin-Thanks Su-yin!
Oh no, well maybe with this set you might win? 
Hi Julia-Thank you Julia!
Oh yes isn’t it funny that it happens with the half Finns! 
Hi Marc-I should give those a go. I had a dream last night that I had them! Thank you so much!
Hi grace-Haha you are too funny Grace!
Thank you so much!
Hi Sara-Thanks so much Sara!
Hi Johanna-Yes I’m scared of becoming addicted to it so I’m resisting!
Thank you!
Thankyou so much for posting this and for encouraging scrabble-tile perfection. I nearly guestimated the size and then looked at yours again and decided that measuring it was the only way to go!
What do you think about the difference between your cooking recipe and the one I used. I’m going to try yours next time
