I like the look of the dark brown gingerbread around the fresh white icing. I also love a cookie design that requires only two icing colors. If you wanted to get really fancy I suppose you could sprinkle sanding sugar over the piping detail but really there's no need.
Here's how to make them:
Bake snowflake shaped cookies. |
Outline and flood the cookie with white royal icing. Use a skewer to move the icing and fill in all the gaps. |
After filling the cookie give it a gentle shake to help the icing settle. |
Let the icing dry before moving on to the next step. |
With piping consistency blue icing and a #1 pastry tip, pipe a straight line across the snowflake. |
Pipe another line. |
And another. |
Pipe three "v" shapes at the end of each line. Make the "v's" larger as you get closer to the center. |
Finally, pipe a ring of dots around the center. That's it. Simple and sweet. |
