These cookies were for a friend's baby shower. She wanted pink flower button cookies. The sugar cookie recipe I used was No Fail Sugar Cookies and Antonia Royal Icing. I love using this particular icing. It dries fast and it taste good too.
I actually wanted to put holes through the cookies, but it didn't turn out so well..... I'm still working on that part. But for the most part, it does look like a button....right?
I made about 50 cookies in all. My friend was pretty happy with the results.
I had some extra cookies left over so I decided to practice designing for my next project. Averie's 1st birthday party is coming up and I plan on making balloon sugar cookies as favors. I need to make about 70 cookies, so I wanted something simple and cute. The color themes are purple, lavender and pink. I plan to have tons and tons of balloons everywhere....hence the balloon design.
