2012How to Ice the “Hooray for Summer” Sunburst Cookie
Summer Sunburst Cookie
I just enjoyed a “summer sunburst cookie” with a cup of my morning coffee and thought I’d share an easy how- to ice process for this great summer cookie idea. It’s such a sunny, simple cookie to make- they’d be great for plating up for the kids to snack on after camp or the beach, or package them like I did and pass them out as favors at a summer BBQ!
Bake a batch of your favorite sugar cookie dough and cut out round circle cookies (I used a 3 inch, fluted, circle cutter)…
Using your thin tip Sweet Dani B icing bottle, ice an X on your cookie. I used yellow royal icing but orange would be fun too- or a mix of both!
Turn your cookie and ice an X over that X…
Keep icing X’s until you have 8 lines drawn fully across the circle…
Next ice lines from the center point, half way or 3/4 way to the edge- these lengths can vary a bit so they look more “realistic”…
Add a M&M center and let them dry for 8 hours or overnight before packaging (I used organic M&M’s by Sunspire.com- they look a little different but are delicious!)
Happy baking & icing! Hooray for summer! Xo Dani
