So here is another episode of "The Making of" for the Valentine's Bake Sale. These are my Sugar Cookies. You can never be missing some decorated cookies for ANY occasion. First off, my Chocolate Sugar Cookies.
This is what they looked like in my sketchbook:
The little grey dot on the side? It resembles a big silver non pareill :).
I was intending for the color to come out as red, but it just kept becoming more and more deep pink. But they still came out good looking ;) I also heard they tasted very good. (See now, I am on a diet, as per my New Years Resolution, so I couldn't taste EVERYTHING. These I did not. At least I'm still on my diet ;) )
Then, I did these little beauties:
What you are looking at are my Sugar Cookies with ...guess whose recipe? I actually did Sugarbelle's Chocolate Royal Icing from her blog The Sweet Adventures of Sugarbelle. I am a big fan of hers, so one day as I was browsing through her blog, I stumbled upon the recipe. I thought I'd give it a try, and it came out great!! You should try it!
I initially thought I'd do these Round, like my sketch.
But if you remember the Cat Cookies I made for Halloween, I don't own a large enough round cookie cutter. So I used what I had on hand. The little heart is sugar paste. I thought I'd play a bit with texture and taste rather than do everything with royal icing.
I also made these cookies, but not for the Bake Sale. Well, when I said I was having a Valentine's Bake Sale, I was asked to do some extras for a conference. I thought it'd be special if the cookies were different from what I had to offer for the Bake Sale.
I improvised on these, so I don't have a sketch, either. But everyone was impressed upon delivery. Simple and nice.
I have one more Sugar Cookie I made, but that one is special, so it has to go on its own post ;)
So keep an eye out for it.
