It's been many a year since I participated in one of these. Youngest daughter now works at an elementary school, and their "fall fundraiser" is upcoming. I was happy to have an excuse to try my hand at decorated sugar cookies, as opposed to cakes. Love the fall leaves and acorn cookie cutters.
I made 6 dozen, and 4 dozen managed to make it to school in those fancy packages. I hope they make a bunch of money off of them. The school's mascot is an owl, thus the package labels.
I'd write more, but I'm licking the screen. I love decorated sugar cookies. Is the icing that royal icing that Martha Stewart uses paste food coloring in?
ReplyDeleteI don't use her actual recipe, but it's very similar to it. And yes, paste icing is the only way to get the more intense colors.
ReplyDeleteI love decorated sugar cookies, too. Hope I have time to do some for Christmas.
