Daisy Doodle Cookies!

Time to make the Daisies!

I found some pretty ribbon at Walmart 

a couple of months ago.

I've been wanting to turn them into cookies ever since.

Sometimes, things I envision do not turn out as I'd like them to.

Yes, my *daisies* are a little wonky...

but I still think they're cute and...

I love the colors!

I'm a little hooked on colored dough..so today we're going with green..again!

 I use a non-stick rolling pin.

 .........................................

 Some of the stuff I use.

I mix my royal icing with colors in my trusty Campbell's soup mugs. I use a butter knife to mix them..i feel that I'm stirring in less air, which means less air bubbles to surface on your cookie.. I may have learned this years ago in a Wilton class.

I use these icing bottles to *flood* my cookies..I really need to buy some new ones with the upgraded nozzles. I also prefer disposable icing bags.

 ( I really hate dislike washing them)
