41 bake from scratch

TO GIVE OUR COOKIE TREE (RECIPE ON PAGE 43) EVEN MORE VISUAL APPEAL, WE CREATED THREE

ICING DESIGNS FOR THE COOKIES. HERE, WE BREAK DOWN THE STEPS FOR EACH DESIGN SO YOU CAN

RECREATE THE LOOK.

Decorating Techniques

STARBURST

Pipe an outline around the edge of the star.

Starting from the center of the cookie, pipe a

straight line to a point. Repeat for all points of

the star. Let dry until hardened, about 1 hour.

CORNER DOTTING

Pipe a small dot onto a corner tip. Pipe a

small heart shape or “V” directly underneath,

touching the fi rst dot. Repeat for all points of

the star. Let dry until hardened, about 1 hour.

SPRINKLE OUTLINE

Pipe a straight line along the edge of each

section of the star and then carefully cover

freshly piped line with sprinkles. (Piping and

sprinkling in segments ensures the sprinkles

stick before the icing can harden.) Repeat until

sprinkle outline covers every edge of the star.

Let dry until set, about 1 hour. Gently shake off

excess sprinkles.
