Crab Cookies
Crab cookies were one of the very first cookies I ever made. The first time around, they gave me a little trouble. Now, they’re one of my favorite designs.
To make these cookies you will need:
- Red piping, 20-second, and flood icing
- Black sugar pearls
Since crab cookies are almost completely red I suggest using Wilton no-taste or Americolor tulip red. You can read more about these colors HERE.
Begin by outlining the body portion of the crab with a #2 tip. I like to start with the top half then move to the bottom. It helps keep things even.
Let the body dry for a bit. Use a #2 tip to outline the claws then fill.
Next, use 20-second icing to make legs. Apply in segments for a realistic look.
When the cookie is dry use piping icing to make two dots for eyes. Use tweezers to add icing pearls to each wet dot.
Use a #2 tip to add a squiggly line detail to each claw and also to the bottom of the shell.
Use 20-second icing to make a bumpy texture on the shell.
The best thing about these little cuties is that there is no shelling involved!
