Paint Palette Cookies
Bright and colorful paint palette cookies are super cute and easy to make. Make them for the artist in your life, or just for fun.
Although I own a couple of paint palette cookie cutters both are a little larger than I like. Rather than buying yet another, I used a paring knife to trim a heart. For a cleaner edge try a moon cutter. If you don’t have a heart cutter handy, a circle will work too. Be creative.
You can go a step further use a tiny round cutter for a thumb-hole if you like.
To make these cookies you will need:
- Light brown piping and flood icing
- 20-second icing in the colors of your choice for paint
Begin by outlining and filling the palettes. I kept things simple, but you could use a wood-grain stencil to add a little more detail.
Once the base is partially dry, use 20-second icing to add “paint”. It’s okay to be messy. Real palettes usually are.
Let the cookies dry completely {8-24 hours}. Pipe a paintbrush directly onto the cookie or create a cookie platter by adding paint brush cookies. You can find the cutter I used HERE.
