Peanuts Cookies

First bake your cookies. I used my Chocolate Cutout Recipe.

Next, I put a sheet of wax paper over my Peanuts template and traced the outlines with a tip 1 and royal icing.

Once the outlines are dry, you can fill them with thinned royal icing. If there are any holes you can use a toothpick to fill in the hole. Just make sure to do it quickly because royal icing dries pretty fast.

Let the characters dry overnight. If it's humid, you may need to let them dry for a day or two. Once the characters are dry, you can use food safe markers to add faces and details.

Once the details have dried, you can start icing your cookies. Since royal icing dries quickly, you'll want to do one cookie at a time. I find it's easier to put the royal icing in a piping bag and draw an outline, then fill it in.


Next, peel off your character from the wax paper and place it on your cookie. Since the are a little delicate, it's safest to use the edge of a table to pull the paper away.


Enjoy!
