Are farm-themed cookies on your to-do list?  Then this cute little cow cookie is just what you need.

Cow CookieBelieve it or not this friendly little farm animal started out as a dress cutter.  I picked this one up at The Cookie Cutter Company.

Cow Cookie CutterTo make these cookies you will need:

  • Ivory piping and 20-second icing
  • White piping and flood icing
  • Black piping icing {make it a little on the stiff side} and 20-second icing
  • Red 20-second icing

Begin by using ivory 20-secong icing to create the lower portion of the cow’s face.

Cow Cookie 2Next use 20-second icing to add hooves and stiffer piping icing for ears.  I used a leaf tip to change things up a bit

Cow Cookie 3Add a few final details to finish up the design.

  1. Pipe a tail with a #2 tip
  2. Add a tail and hair “poofs” using a #13 tip
  3. Use black 20-second icing to add eyes
  4. Add nostrils and maybe a line around the lower part of the face {see final photo}
  5. Use red 20-second icing to make a sweet little bandana
  6. Create cow print with black 20-second icing
