Sugar cookies!
I think the next few posts are going to be about bakings I do, since I've been pretty excited about that lately.
Currently I'm working on my sugar cookie technique. For halloween I made cookies with no less than 5 colors of icing (that's a lot of cleaning out the pastry bags!). I think they came out really well though - I especially like the pumpkins. I also tried coating some in red decorator's sugar which looks really cool, but has a tendency to drip. Next time I'll have to let it set more.
My trusty sugar cookies, with royal icing
For christmas I've done the same thing - I was a little less creative with the designs, but I tried more techniques. In addition to using sprinkles on some, I tried swirling red and green food coloring into the white icing to make ornament cookies. I love how those turned out, but overall the batch is kind of drippy and messy looking. Oh well, at least they taste delicious!
