Woodland Animal Cookie Set

17 Jul

Thought I would share this cute woodland animal theme cookie set I did recently. The cookie request was for a beaver, and it grew from there. I picked up most of the cutters from The Cookie Cutter Company and used a limited palette of pink, green, brown and white.

Almost all the cookies were decorated using the basic outline and fill method except for the butterflies which were done with Wet on Wet Technique.

Royal Icing

2 May

Practice makes…well…better. When it comes to cookie decorating I don’t think I will ever reach perfect but I can try to get better with Royal Icing. Tried a new recipe today and added vodka for a little bit faster drying time.I think it was a success.

5 egg whites* (you can use pasteurized egg whites too)

1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

2 teaspoons clear vanilla extract* (you can substitute a different flavor here)

2 pounds powdered sugar

Gel food coloring

Vodka/ water for thinning

  • Mix powdered sugar and cream of tartar on the stir speed with a electric mixer
  • stir in egg whites on low speed
  • add flavoring * I used vanilla
  • add more sugar if needed
  • when you pull your beater

Use water and vodka to thin the icing to correct consistency for decorating as needed
