Decorated Rose Cookies
Believe it or not, I have never been a rose kind of girl. It’s always bothered me that something so expensive dies in just a few days. That doesn’t mean I’m not a romantic, I just prefer gifts that last a little longer…or at least taste good.
I really like these cookies because they were inspired by a paper bouquet my little boy made for me.
When I looked at the rose, I immediately saw a bell. The longer I thought about it, I saw even more cutters that would work.
Chances are, you already own the perfect cutter. Use them as is, or customize them by trimming and adding leaves.
To make these cookies you will need:
- Piping and 20-second icing in the color of your choice for roses
- Green piping and 20-second icing
- Sanding sugar {optional}
Begin by flooding the rose with 20-second icing. If you added leaves wait a bit then flood them also. Let the base completely dry.
Once the base is dry, pipe the swirl with a #2 tip. Begin at the bottom and pipe up toward the top, finishing with a swirl. Immediately sprinkle with coordinating sanding sugar.
Finish up with a little leaf detail if desired.
Each one of these cutters makes a convincing rose. I think my favorite are is the tulip and trimmed egg. What’s yours?
Rose cookies look wonderful in coordinating colors. Add sticks to create an adorable cookie bouquet. The possibilities are as endless as your imagination.
