how to make daisy cookie bites

you will need:
cut out cookie dough AND royal icing
food coloring
decorating bags
couplers
size “4” decorating tips
rubber bands
small circle cookie or fondant cutters

*For food coloring, I suggest Americolor soft gel pastes (Orange, Egg Yellow, Electric Green, Electric Pink, Electric Purple, and Sky Blue). For the cookie or fondant cutters, I used 1-inch and 1 1/2-inch cutters. Find decorating bags, couplers, tips, and the cutters at the craft store. You’ll need one bag, coupler and tip for each color you use. For more tips on finding cookie decorating supplies, CLICK HERE.

step one: bake your cookies

Prepare cookie dough according to the recipe, chill, roll out about 1/4-inch thick, cut out circles and bake. Because these cookies are small, reduce the baking time by several minutes. Keep your eye on the cookies; they are done when the edges are golden. Let cool completely.

step two: prepare your icing

Prepare royal icing according to the recipe, divide, and tint your colors. I used: orange, yellow, lime green, pink, purple and blue. Prepare decorating bags with couplers and tips, fill with the colors, and close with rubber bands.

step three: decorate your cookies

Pipe dots. That’s it. (Hold the bag vertical to the cookie, squeeze, press down, then pull up quickly.) For the smaller cookies, I piped a dot in the center and five dots around. For the larger cookies, I piped six dots around the center dot.
