Polka Dot Carrot Cookies
Who’s the nut still taking about Easter? Yeah, that would be me.
I like Easter cookies as much as the next gal, but after making about a gazillion of them they tend to get a little, well, uh…boring. To save my sanity I gave the classic carrot cookie a brand new look. I think I kind of love it.
To make these cookies you will need:
- Orange piping and flood icing
- White flood icing
- Green piping icing
Begin by outlining the cookies with a #2 tip. Flood, then quickly add polka-dots to the wet icing.
Let the orange section dry for a bit then use a leaf tip {I used a #70} for the stem. I used piping icing because I’m lazy…stiffer icing will produce more defined leaves.
To finish up add a swirl detail with a #2 tip. I tried to follow the natural curve of the cutter. Do what feels natural to you.
These look great on their own but you can mix them with other Easter-themed cookies like this adorable bunny.
I packaged them in regular cellophane bags dressed up with printable “Keep Calm and Eat Carrots” tags from I Heart Naptime. Simple and cute…my favorite combination.
