Ingredients

  • 1 batch sugar cookies

  • Paring knife to cut cookies
  • Plaque Cookie Cutter
  • 15-second count royal icing in blue, light green, red, black, and dark green (test the consistency by taking a spoonful of icing out of the bowl and dropping it back in. It should take about 15 seconds for the icing to be completely smooth)

  • Stiff consistency royal icing in white
  • 12” decorating bags
  • Decorating tip numbers 1, 2, and 3

  • Vodka or any flavor extract to mix with food coloring to use as paint
  • Decorator brushes

Instructions

Step 1

From a chilled sheet of cookie dough using the plaque cookie cutter as a guide, cut around the plaque with the paring knife to make the cookie ½” larger than the plaque all around. Bake and cool the cookies according to the recipe instructions.

Step 2

Ice the top portion of the cookie with blue 15-second count consistency icing and a decorating tip

Step 3

Use the scribe tool or toothpick to evenly distribute the icing.

Step 4

Immediately fill in the lower portion of the cookie with light green flood consistency royal icing and a decorating tip 2 and use the scribe tool or toothpick to evenly distribute the icing. Allow the icing to dry about 6 hours.

Step 5

Mix green food coloring with a few drops of vodka or any flavor extract to dilute. Apply the edible paint with a decorator brush.

Pipe tree trunks with brown soft peak icing and a tip 1. Pipe pine trees with dark green 15-second count icing and use the scribe tool or toothpick to help shape the icing.
