Homespun Christmas Tree Decorated Cookies (Tutorial)

View fullsize

This is one of my favorite Christmas cutters.
Several years ago, I designed this shape with some good cookie friends and the cutters were made in mass quantity. But eventually, they sold out of the cutter and it was hard to place another order. Thankfully, my good friends at Creative Cookier agreed to offer this shape in their shop. You can find the "Homespun Christmas Tree" cutter HERE. 

Refer to the video and photos below to learn how the two homespun tree designs were made.

Before baking the cookie dough, place an impression mat face down on the dough and impress the dough by adding pressure from a rolling pin. Cut out the shape using the embossed dough. The two mats used for these designs: 1) Burlap and 2) Wood planks

After the cookies have been baked and cooled, brush the embossed dough with dry caramel dust.

For the first design, cover the tree portion of the cookie with green glaze using random zig zag lines. (see photo and video for more visual details)

After the initial layer of glaze has dried for at least 15 minutes, add an additional layer of zig zag lines.

Completely fill a silicone button mold with red edible clay. (Recipe for clay found HERE & Mold used found HERE.) Place the filled mold in the freezer for at least one hour.

Once the clay has been frozen for more than an hour, you should be able to pop the buttons out of the mold and place directly on the cookie. If preferred, you can mold the buttons, pop them out, dry them on parchment paper overnight, and then "glue" them onto the tree using left over glaze. (see photos and video for more visual details)

For the second design, emboss the dough with the wood plank impression mat. Bake and cool the cookies. Brush dry caramel dust over the embossed dough.

Outline and flood each "plank" with a different color glaze and a different wet-on-wet pattern to give a patchwork appearance. (see photos and video for more visual details)

And there you have it......two fun homespun Christmas tree cookie designs.

Watercolors + Edible Clay Decorated Cookie Collection

View fullsize

After my first attempt at watercolor decorating, I knew I would have to experiment much more to start to get the hang of it.
For this set, I decided to try watercolors on both dried glaze and on my edible clay recipe.
In addition, I used lots of gold dust to add splashes of beauty to each cookie.
Progress is being made......but it is definitely a work in progress.

Fathers Day Casual Shirt Cookie (Tutorial)

Now that we've done a more dressy collared shirt cookie for Dad on Fathers Day,
let's make a casual shirt cookie with a pocket and buttons.


The cookie shape is simple........a large square. :)
Using additional cookie dough, cut out a collar and a pocket and
place them on top of the cookie before baking.
(I used the straight edge of the large square cutter to cut out these shapes.)

After the cookie is baked and cooled, flood the entire cookie in your-color-of-choice glaze.

Be careful not to use too much glaze around the edges of the collar/pocket causing it to pile up and take away from the contrast of the different cookie heights.

In this example cookie, a plaid pattern was added....

but feel free to leave the shirt plain or add your own pattern.

Allow the cookie to dry for at least 30 minutes.

Outline the color and pocket in the same color glaze.

To add stitches, allow the glaze to dry for a couple of hours.

Poke evenly space holes along the edges with a cake tester or other round tool.

Then pipe stitches across ever two holes as shown below.

(Please excuse the blurry photo.)

While the cookie is drying overnight, mold 2-3 small buttons in a silicone mold using edible clay.

Place the buttons on the side of the shirt (under the collar) and add some glaze stitches on the buttons.
