Pinterest Cookie-d {Ombre Cookies}
This set wasn’t part of my original game plan, but after seeing my friend Glory’s cake, I had to make matching cookies. So, here they are…
Making these was so ridiculously easy, I almost felt like I was cheating.
In a perfect world, I’d use an airbrush, but I don’t have one yet so I used the same Wilton sprays that I used for my autumn leaf cookies.
To make ombre cookies, ouline and flood your cookies with white icing. For tips on outlining and flooding, click HERE.
Let them dry completely, as in OVERNIGHT.
In the meantime, I made myself a paper guide to use so that all my sections would be even.
In this case, I want three shades on every cookie, so I broke it into thirds.
To begin, hold the can of airbrush spray a little away from the cookie, and give them a light mist of color. Let them dry…
Next, using a sheet of paper and the guidelines, cover one third of the cookie and lightly mist the exposed area again. Let that dry.
To finish, cover all but the top third of the cookie and spray it once more.
Let this dry and you’re finished.
Simple but striking…
I hope you are enjoying this series. Be sure to visit my friend Ashleigh and check out her “Keep Calm” cookies.

I may have a Pinterst problem myself. I CANNOT stop PINNING! Do you Pinterest? What are your favorite trends? Are you addicted as I am?
Simple but stunning is right! Love the subtle shadings you created Callye.
I call this FAST but FANCY….well kinda fast…compared to your other works that is. Quite lovely really.
I’m loving these quick & easy cookie tutorials. I tend to over think cookies & end up stressing & doing more work than I planned on. These cookies are helping me realize that less is more. Great work as always!
So cool!
These are very pretty I absolutely love them!
Ok, well you already know I love ombre… and these cookies are just perfectly gorgeous!! I could look at them all day!! I will have to try this soon!
You, my dear, are amazing! By looking at these cookies, I never would have attempted to make them. After seeing your tutorial, I can totally do this! Thank you for sharing your ideas. We, your fans, really do appreciate it! Oh, and yes, I’m a new Pinterest addict too!
I don’t pinterest yet…..I just recently looked at it for the first time by following one of your links. I’m beginning to see how it could be addictive.
These look awesome!!! Simple, maybe, but your friends would never know it! (well, maybe you have cookie friends who would – but MY friends wouldn’t know it!)
I won’t let myself pin… I know it’s too dangerous!!!
I couldn’t figure out how to pronounce it until this post. I kept thinking Pin-ter-est but it sounded too… much. But then you said pinning and now I get it! It’s like interest but starts with a P, right? Thanks!
BTW – LOVE these cookies. I haven’t attempted decorating yet (one cookie left from the batch I made Sat. and not a drop of frosting in sight) But these look easy and quick enough for the first try. I’ve been afraid that I’ll get overwhelmed trying to do too much and will give up. They’re beautiful, too.
You got it! Pinterest…as in pin interesting things…I AM ADDICTED!
Oh these are just simply elegant! I love them! I was looking at the Colour Mist spray today and thought about getting some. Now I’m definitely going to get some!! 😀
I have a Pintrest membership but haven’t started pinning yet – I know when I start I won’t be able to stop. I’ll wait til I’ve finished my current cake project – that will be the perfect reward!
So soft and pretty.
Wow, that is the coolest thing ever! I would never think to do that.
Oh I LOVE you ombre cookies, they are so pretty. Pinterest is so fun, all types of Ombre going on over there what a great way to do it on cookies 🙂 you’re a genius!
I love it!! Simple & perfect! 🙂
These are SO pretty! I love them!!
These are so great, easy but effective, the kinda cookie I LUV. Yes I pin as well, well if you have to have an addiction (other than your cookie cutter addition I have noticed) it’s not a bad one, it’s free and apart from sitting at the computer and doing no other work it’s not so bad for you.
These are sooooooo pretty…even while being so simple! Just had to share your link on our Bellenza FB page!
These are really beautiful. What an amazing idea. It always amazes me the creative way that your mind works 🙂
Callye! Brilliant cookies! And yes, I have a major pinterest problem. I saw the best saying on the site, I think it sums it up, it says “I think I need a Pinter-vention!” Sounds like you might need one, I know I do! At least you’re not a “Pinster” a pinning gangester, or are you? 🙂
Brilliant! And the simplicity… I need to get some cookies in the oven ASAP. 🙂
What beautiful cookies. My day certainly improved after seeing them. Don’t stop, you bare one very talented lady. 🙂
I’m seriously in love w/ these callye! absolutely. positively. love them.

The are incredibly gorgeous and I will agree with you that as far as decorated cookies go this is an easy one…Love it 🙂
Callye – these are sensational! And I think I could even try this on my cookies!!! I’ve got all the sprays ready to be used!!
love these! Make me smile this a.m 🙂
Very pretty Callye!
Gorgeous!! I love them 🙂 Of course, the pink is my favorite, but you knew that, didn’t you 🙂
So pretty and I love the bright colors!
OMG Callye! These don’t seem like they’re too difficult to do (although you make everything look easy even though it’s not!) 🙂 but you’re right and they are STRIKING! I love this idea. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful! I love the colors!
I am seriously, so in love with these!! And I have to say that your flooding is SO PERFECT!
Wow, those are so beautiful! I’ve never actually tried decorating with sprays, but this looks simple and gorgeous! I want to try them!

Magnificent! I love when simple techniques create such a fabulous effect.
I heart Pinterest! I have so many different categories. Crafts, Recipes, Dream Home, Fall Stuff, Winter Stuff….I am addicted! Recently I picked 3 Pinterest crafts that I wanted to do and I worked on them while my hubby was out of town. And just this morning I made my 3rd Pinterest inspired recipe.
wow, easy is right, but talk about impact! very cool….
Excelente me encanta la idea!!! Excellent love these cookies!!!
Wow! Fabulous!
Simply elegant!
These look amazing & it’s good to have something beautiful to fall back on when you don’t have oodles of time to do detailed icing … plus I’m not the most artistic person in the world, so this I KNOW I can do 😉
These are brilliant. Love the idea and simplicity of them. The results are stunning. Thanks for sharing.
I am a Pinner myself! It’s amazing. . actually, if you check out my boards, you’ll probably find some of your cookies!!! This tutorial is ingenious by the way. Kudos to you!!
OMG……pure genius! Easy for you, I didn’t even know you could paint cookies! Thanks so much for sharing this with us!
These are phenomenal! I can’t wait to make and serve them alongside an ombre cake! I can even picture doing this on a fondant disc and placing on cupcakes! Keep up the creativity!
I love these cookies.. I’m thinking orange and black for halloween. Thanks for the idea.
WOW! Simple but stunning, and without an airbrush. Callye you are simply amazing!! 🙂
Wow!! Simple yet beautiful..love this cookies!! Can’t wait to try to make them. Thanks for sharing 🙂

I can always count on you to spread a little cookie cheer! Love them. 🙂
aaaahhhh! I see. I love it when simple and beautiful get together. Just perfect!
Gorgeous cookies, and brilliant idea! But where did you get those beautiful shades of lilac and pink? Wilton’s website only offers red, green, yellow and blue Color Mist. Did you use a different brand this time?
i think i am in love with you. a – these are absolutely amazing b- i might actually be able to do this. i am booking marking you now.
These cookies are just beautiful! And unlike most of the amazing designs you do, I may actually be able to handle this one! lol
I’ve been wanting to get an airbrush, too, but for my body! 😉 These are beautiful! And, I’m trying to not allow myself to get addicted to Pinterest. You’re not helping matters with all of the wonderful things I see you pin!
OMG you are so talanted – they are just gorgeous!
Superb perfection! Love the softness of the colors.

Can you freeze these at all in order to prepare them in advance?
I bake them in advance and freeze, but I would be careful freezing them decorating. That can be dangerous.
Not in the food poisoning way, but more in the waking up to 150 unusable damaged cookies way. Royal icing can be fickle.
I made these cookies for easter this past weekend they came out perfectly. Your sugar cookie recipe is divine. I posted about it on my blog below and credited you for this amazing recipe and design! I would love for you to check it out

Where can I get three shades of blue spray????
Hi! I tried to contact you earlier…..are you using just one shade of blue? I am making these this week for a shower and it’s the one question I have. Thanks!!!
These are beautiful! I am thinking about making them for my daughter’s birthday. I have a couple of questions. 1. How long does it take to dry between coats of the spray? 2. How many cookies can you do with one can? Thanks!
