DIY: Make your own painted cookies…
Sugar Cookie Recipe
-
1 cup butter, softened
-
1 cup white sugar
-
1 egg
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
½ tsp almond extract
-
3 cups all purpose flour
-
2 tsp baking powder
Mix together the first 5 ingredients until smooth. Slowly incorporate flour and baking powder. Roll dough and use cookie cutters to shape. Place shapes on parchment lined cookie sheets. Bake at 350 for 6-8min. Remove from the oven before the edges brown. Cool completely before transferring cookies off of the cookie sheet.
Royal Icing Recipe
-
4 cups confectioners sugar
-
5 tablespoons warm water (plus more as needed)
-
3 tablespoons meringue powder
-
2 teaspoons extract (either vanilla or almond)
-
18in piping bag
Beat all ingredients together until icing forms peaks and peaks disappear after counting to 5. Add more water one tablespoon at a time until the right texture is achieved. Place icing into an 18in piping bag. Pipe a circle outlining the edges of the cooking and then flood the inside with icing.
Edible Paint
-
Gel Food Coloring
-
Almond extract or water
-
Edible Black Marker
-
Paint Brushes
-
Paint Palette
Squeeze one drop of each gel color into a plate — a small amount goes a long way. Then add a small amount of extract or water to dilute each color. To paint, use a paint brush (reserved for cooking only) to apply the edible paint onto the cookie. Make sure to not over saturate which could melt the icing. Finally, add details with a black edible marker.
