31 Days of Holiday Cookies

BOB’S RED MILL HOLIDAY 2018 E-BOOK | 31 DAYS OF HOLIDAY COOKIES Frost Holiday Cookies Like a Pro With a little preparation and a few tools, you can create beautiful holiday cookies. A great activity for kids! YOU NEED: • Frosting bags: one for each color you plan to use • Piping tips (popular choices: large and small round tips, star tips)* • Royal or buttercream frosting • Food coloring • Sparkling sugar, sprinkles, small hard candies FILL YOUR BAGS: Put your chosen tips into your bags. Place each bag in a large drinking glass and fold the bag down over it; now you can spoon in your frosting, mess-free! OUTLINE YOUR DESIGN: Use a small round tip to outline your design. Let sit to firm for a minute or two. FILL IN YOUR DESIGN: Using a larger tip, fill in your design. Pro tip: add a little extra water or liquid to your frosting so you can “flow” in the frosting. ADD FINISHING TOUCHES: Use a small round tip to add details like eyes and smiles, or a star tip to add texture. Finish with sparkling sugar, small hard candies or sprinkles! * Extra credit: look for decorating couplers at your local craft store: they allow you to switch piping tips easily without having to empty your bags.
