Decorated Holly Cookies
Did you know that decorated holly cookies are probably my all-time favorite Christmas cookie to make? Especially since I picked up Good Cook’s twelve piece holiday cutter set. These well-made cutters are the perfect combination of traditional and whimsical and instantly put me in the mood to create.
To make these cookies you will need:
- Red 20-second icing
- Green outline and flood icing
- White piping icing
Begin by using red 20-second icing to add the first berry.
After a few minutes, add the second berry. Waiting a bit between each application is a great way to create dimension with royal icing.
Let the first two berries dry for a bit, then outline the leaf with a #2 tip and flood. At this point, let the cookie dry. This can take anywhere from four to twenty-four hours.
When the base is dry, it’s time to add the final details. Use a #2 tip to outline outside of the leaf. Add a third berry, then add a line to the middle of the leaf.
When the cookies are dry, they’re ready to enjoy. What better way to celebrate the holidays than sharing cookies with friends.
