To celebrate Jeremy’s birthday, I decided to make some nice cookies for him. I found a great idea on Bake at 350! I didn’t have a cake cookie cutter, so I just made a tiered cake stencil and went from there. It took a little longer than it would have with the cutter, but it worked the same.
I have never used royal icing on cookies before so I was a little nervous while doing it. But all in all, it came out fine.
This is the outline with the royal icing. Please forgive that I don’t have a very steady hand! I was just so nervous!
Now we are going to fill in the cookies with the thinned royal icing.
I used the squeeze bottles that you can find in craft stores and it made things so much easier! It was so much fun watching the icing spread out on it’s own.
Now lets do the dots. This was probably my favorite part of these cookies.
After I finished doing the icing, I let the cookies sit for about an hour. Then I came back with my blue and added the trim and wrote the number 2 on the top of each of the cookies. This is what the finished product looked like:
They aren’t perfect, but it was my first time doing royal icing! I think they turned out pretty cute! Expect to see a lot more cookies with royal icing!

I think they look fantastic!
Those look super amazing!!!!!! Great job:$
I think you did a great job! And the polka dots are fantastic. It was also very creative to do the stencil. It worked out really well. You could make those out of a re-usable material and save a bundle on cutters.
