I feel almost too embarrassed to post these cookies because they aren’t up to par with those gorgeous decorated sugar cookies that I see on Pinterest. Last night, I was up late watching youtube videos on how to decorate sugar cookies and learned quite a bit. The decorator used a piping tip number 2, but you can easily just make your own piping tip with a gallon size freezer storage bag. Just cut a really tiny whole the size of a tip number 2. Then to spread out the frosting on the cookie, I used a tooth pick.
I really want to go to Michaels and get some more food coloring, the Wilton gel brand. That food coloring makes the best colors in my opinion. I’ve tried making orange with the liquid food coloring and it just isn’t the right color. That’s why my pumpkins look like a peach color. I can’t wait to use this recipe for Christmas cookies! The frosting was delicious and doesn’t get as a hard as a rock right away. The almond extract gives it a nice flavor. Just you wait, by Christmas, my cookies will look very professional looking! Ha. Oh yah, and pardon the squirrel, he looks a tad drunk.
