Tonight is the first performance of my friend Sharon Whitney's play, "Eleanor Roosevelt-Across a Barrier of Fear," and I have the honor of making treats for the event including these pretty shades of blue sugar cookies.
If you would like to attend the play, here are the details:
Trinitarian Sharon Whitney's acclaimed play, "Eleanor Roosevelt-Across a Barrier of Fear," starring Jane Van Boskirk, is scheduled for two performances, Friday, October 25 at 7:00 p.m. and Saturday, October 26 at 1:00 p.m. in Kempton Hall. To reserve a seat, visit www.trinity-episcopal.org. Seating is limited. A $10 donation at the door is suggested. This is an offering from the Cathedral Arts Committee.
Eleanor Roosevelt's favorite color was blue so I think these scalloped edged cookies are just the thing to serve. And, Eleanor was a no-nonsense woman and I have a hunch she would appreciate the simple design and the ease of making them.
It really was easy. All I did was bake small rectangle cookies, tint some royal icing four shades of blue and then outline and fill.
Once again, these cookies show that a no-frills design is often the best.
Here's how to make them:
Bake a batch of cookies. |
Make a batch of royal icing and divide it evenly among four bowls. |
Get a bottle of blue food coloring. I used royal blue #102 AmeriColor gel paste. |
Four shades of blue. |
Let the cookies dry completely before serving or packaging. |
