-
Prepare the Royal Icing; outline each cookie with the outlining mixture in a pastry bag with a thin tip
-
Flood inside of each cookie with the flooding mixture in a squeeze bottle; shaking each in the air to move it around and using a toothpick to encourage the flood (I found my squeeze bottle tip did that best)
-
Add a drop of red to remaining royal icing for pink rosy chubby cheeks; place in squeeze bottle
-
Add tiny dots mid cookie just by ears for rosy cheeks; if you do this immediately after flooding each cookie, dots will settle into the face and be at the same level as the surface icing (if your first experience, you may need another person for this part – I did it after finishing all cookie surface flooding and the dots sat on the surface making adorable chubby cheeks)
-
Set on sheet overnight to dry
-
Mix ½ of remaining icing from the squeeze bottles with green food colouring and add a little more sugar to make a stiffer outlining mixture; place in pastry bag to make hair; you may need to add blue and red to get a richer brown
-
Place in pastry bag to make little curl on the forehead; add daisy at top of each curl (it will secure daisy and hide beginning of curl)
-
Using edible pen, draw on smiles, and dot your eyes; if not using the icing for the hair, use the brown pen to make your curls
-
I added pink lips with my pink edible pen
-
Set on sheet to dry; freeze or store in tightly sealed container until event
