Cotton Candy Decorated Cookies (Tutorial)

View fullsize

Cotton Candy......it's one of those things that doesn't feel real. You can see it and you can taste it, but it is like eating air....sweet air, that is. 😊

And yet, the memories it brings back are delightful.

I handcut these cookies, but I found a similar shaped cutter to recreate the cookies in this post.

Outline and flood the "cone" of the cookie with white glaze.
Outline and flood the remainder of the cookies with pink glaze. (see photo below)

Allow the icing to dry for about 15-30 minutes and then add detail lines. (see photo below)

After the cookie has dried overnight, combine super pearl dust with some alcohol (or clear extract; i.e. almond) and paint the pink part of the cookie to give it a "feather-y" look.
