....go ahead. Awwwww!His great love....bowling! Santa even brought him a bowling ball for Christmas. So, I made some bowling cookies for him.
I used a vintage-y cutter that I found on eBay. It was fun to finally use it, although it is one of those cutters that is closed on the top. You know what I mean? It wouldn't cut all the way through the dough...it wasn't deep enough, so I had to go around the shape with a paring knife.
Other than the cookie cutter issue, these are really easy cookies to make. I just outlined and filled the shapes with black/white icing and added the pin stripes using a #4 tip and the finger holes with a #3. Easy Peasy!
I hope he likes them!!!

ReplyDeleteI use a gel food coloring made by AmreiColor...Super Black. It doesn't take much and it doesn't taste funny. I know some others to taste a little strange b/c you have to use so much!
You HOPE he likes them? Surely that was rhetorical! :) They're great! We just made an outdoor bowling set with old 2L bottles and sand yesterday. Funny the games kids get hooked on!
ReplyDeleteHe is adorable! And so are those cookies!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat cookies!! Do you ever use fondant to do cookies with so much or one color, like the pins?
ReplyDeletei meant "OF one color", sorry, typing too fast!!
ReplyDeleteDo you ever have a problem with the black running with the white making the white look purple-ish? Maybe it isn't much of a problem with royal icing but I know it is with buttercream. I'm a cake decorator. Someday, perhaps when the kids are older (they're 3.5yo & 6mo), I would love to decorate cookies like yours. I've already got a good supply of cutters. Love your site. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSo cute, Bridget! Mac will love those.
ReplyDeleteAdorable cookies! I have to start keeping an eye out at antiques stores and yard sales for some of these unusual cookie cutter shapes.
ReplyDeleteyou know he's going to love them! of course, it's cookies and he's a little boy - what's not to love - lol!
ReplyDeleteOh, I don't know how he couldn't love those cookies! (He is pretty adorable as well. . .)
