A little reprieve from the craziness of my book stuff. (Aaack!! Due in a matter of weeks!! Aaack again!!!) It’s an art gallery on sticks! Of the edible kind. Or, art cookies on a stick.
how to make an art cookies on a stick
you will need:*
*Find the decorating bags, couplers, tips, sticks, cutter, and sprinkles at the craft store. I used Americolor soft gel pastes food coloring (Bright White and Egg Yellow), and the Americolor Gourmet Writers set and the FooDoodler fine-line set. For tips on finding cookie decorating supplies, click HERE.
step one: bake your cookies
Roll out chilled cookie dough 3/8 inch thick, cut out squares, insert sticks and bake according to the recipe.
step two: prepare your icing
Make icing and tint white and yellow (you’ll need much more white than yellow). Prepare two frosting bags with size “3” tips. Fill one with yellow and one with half of your white icing. Close bags tightly with rubber bands. Cover and reserve remaining white icing.
step three: flood the cookies
Pipe an outline on the cookies with white, and let set about 15 minutes. Thin reserved white icing by stirring in drops of water until the consistency of thick glue. Fill an empty decorating bag with the thinned icing, snip 1/4 inch from the corner, and loosely pipe to fill the cookies, using a toothpick as needed to encourage the icing. Let set overnight. Yes, let it set overnight.
step four: make art
Use the edible writers to draw your art. Don’t draw to the edges to allow for the frame.
step five: frame it
Pipe a square at the edge with yellow and immediately sprinkles with sprinkles. Turn over to remove excess sprinkles.

I love your illustrations – truly. I am so used to commenting on photographs in blogs, that it's so refreshing to see another approach. Really enjoyed reading your post.
Nicole says
These are so adorable! Can I ask what brand of food marker you use? I use a icing recipe that's similar to yours and I find that, even after drying, the markers leave little dents in the icing. Any advice? It's not like you're busy or anything…
Chic Cookies says
You are all such amazing commenters! Always makes my day. Nicole, I used the FooDoodler Fine Line set of 10 (must be fine line!!) and the Americolor Gourmet Writers, my two favorite pens. But if you left dents in the icing, it's not the markers. The icing wasn't dry enough. Let the cookies sit overnight for at least one day, two days if they leave dents, and use let water to flood if you still have a problem. Same thing has happened to me, definitely, because I rushed the icing.
