Still in detox and a day of baking and icing cookies for Anna's soccer team satisfied the urge to be in the kitchen. You would think I'd have a cookie cutter for a gecko (team is called the Green Geckos)or anything resembling a reptile but my large collection of cutters contained no lizards so...butterflies it was!
Anna mixed the wet ingredients of butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla and I did the dry of flour, salt, and baking. She is getting quite good at rolling the dough evenly. I prefer the cookies to be crispy and thin thus, baking them at 350 for 18 minutes, rotating at 8 minutes yields the perfect sugar cookies to be iced.
The Wilton Cake Decorating Course I that I took almost 2 years ago is a godsend. Not only did I learn how to use icing but I learned the basic skills such as which tips to use, filling a pastry bag, and the proper way to hold the pastry bag when icing.
