Today at work we're having a cookie exchange. I've never done one of these before, so I'm excited about trying all the different cookies. Everyone brings 3.5 dozen. The half dozen is for eating today (sharing with non-baking coworkers) and then we pick out 3 dozen to take home. I had always wanted to try decorating cookies with royal icing so this was my big chance. Jen and Scott joined in the fun, and it was a Sunday afternoon cookie icing party. I had some snowflake sugar cookies already made and frozen, and we baked some fresh gingerbread men and gingerbread snowmen as well.
I used plastic squeeze bottles from Walmart (98c) for the flood icing (solid background colors)
I was astonished when Scott offered to help...
Look at him go!
Naked gingerbreadmen.
Clothed gingerbreadmen.
Snowflakes, flooded and awaiting details:
Ahhh...pretty...
Thumpity thump thump
I had fun piping the scarves.
