Faberge Egg Cookies How-To

You Will Need:

• Small Egg Shaped Cookie Cutter
• Faberge Egg Cookie Stencil
• Royal icing
• No Fail Sugar Cookie Recipe
• Assorted Dragees, Edible Pearls, Luster Dust, Disco Dust, and Edible Glitter
• Parchment Paper
• Clear Vanilla Extract (or another alcohol base will do)
• Small craft paintbrush

Instructions:

1. Make No Fail Sugar Cookie recipe according to directions. Make sure to cut out plenty of small egg-shaped cookies. Bake and cool as directed.
2. For the next step, you may ice some cookies with a base layer of royal icing, and leave others plain. Make Royal Icing Mix according to the package instructions (you want the icing to be a consistency between heavy cream and ketchup). Using a squeeze bottle or pastry bag, carefully ice a base layer of icing on the desired amount of cookies. Let the icing completely dry.
3. Now it is time for the stencil. Place the cookie stencil on the egg-shaped cookie so that it lays perfectly on top. Carefully ice the stencil designs onto the frosted or unfrosted cookies. Before the icing sets, sprinkle with edible glitter, quins, or use dragees to create a fun border.
4. Once the stenciled layer of frosting is dry, you may add luster or disco dust to create a stunning shimmery effect. Mix luster dust or disco dust with a 1 part clear vanilla extract to create a "paint." Using a small craft paintbrush, carefully paint the areas on the cookies that you want to sparkle. Let it dry.
5. Carefully stack and store the cookies in an airtight container.
