Patterns On Sugar Cookies


Icing different patterns onto sugar cookies and then mixing them together on a tray can make for a striking display. It's also fun to choose unexpected color combinations.

Usually I outline and fill with the same color of icing but this time I chose to outline the cookies with a soft yellow and then flood them with lavender. Bright red icing added in dots, stripes and a honeycomb pattern add brightness and interest.

Outline with icing that is the consistency of yogurt. Let that dry for at least 10 minutes and then flood the cookie with another color. Use a skewer to fill in all the gaps.

Gently shake the cookie to help the icing settle and remove air bubbles. Let the cookies dry before adding patterns in another color.

Use piping consistency icing and a #1 pastry tip when you add your patterns.
