Easter is one of the best occasions to\nget creative in the kitchen and it’s also an opportunity to get the\nkids involved. There are a number of wonderful cookie decorating\nmethods. Some can be complex but others are simple enough for the\nyounger members of your family to join in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This method is somewhat tricky but\ngreat for older children. The border is the tricky part and you will\nneed to make a thicker icing. Once you have applied the border, you\nneed to allow it to set before adding your flood icing. The flood\nicing needs to be thinner and you will need to allow it to stand for\na bit longer in order to set. If you would like to add any sprinkles,\nyou will need to do so while the flood icing is still wet so that\nthey stick. Do not add them too soon, however, or they could end up\nsinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have young children, you can\nstill let them add the flood icing. If they are too young for the\nflood icing, they can apply the sprinkles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a very easy method that even\nkids can enjoy. Take your cookie and turn it upside down so that you\ndip the flat side into the icing. Lift up your cookie and tilt it all\naround as you allow the excess icing to drip back into the bowl. Once\nyou are done, turn the cookie over and smooth the icing out with a\nbamboo toothpick if need be. Allow to dry overnight and you can\ncontinue to decorate the following day. Decorate by adding accents\nwith different colours. When drying overnight, make sure that you\nleave them uncovered. Once hardened, you can store your cookies in a\ncookie tin or similar container.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you make a cute bunny cookie, for\nexample, you can dip it in some pastel pink, blue, yellow or even\nwhite icing. After drying, add details like eyes and a nose. If you\ncut out egg-shaped cookies, you can decorate them with polka dots in\nvarious colours. The best tip to remember is that you should put your\nicing into separate squeeze bottles similar to those used for ketchup\nand mustard. It will make decorating that much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don’t forget, when baking your cookies,\nyou should always make sure that your dough is chilled before you\nroll them out. Once you cut the shapes out and place your cookies on\nthe baking sheet, you should refrigerate again for best results. \n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
