Flower Cookies and Packaging

Spring has sprung... Yes!  If you live in the Seattle area like me you will understand when I tell you that I  keep my umbrella, sun tan lotion, coat and sunglasses all at the ready.  A girl's gotta be prepared especially since I never know what's going to happen each day.  

While cooped up during the rain, this is what kept me busy -  Flower Cookie Favors for my twins kindergarten teacher.  They were a major hit with the parents and kids alike!

Here's how its done...

Using a wilton tip 2 pipe the white edges of the cookies with royal icing.

Thin out your royal icing with a little water, color and fill the cookies using a piping bag and tip 2.  While the icing is still wet pipe the purple dots and they will blend right into the cookie.   After the icing is dry pipe a white circular center with your thicker royal icing and sprinkle with white sprinkles. 

On to the cookie packaging. I used a couple different types of scrapbook paper for the tops of my bags. Cut the paper to the size you want, fold it in half.  Also fold the top your plastic bag two times and staple the bag shut on each side.  Staple your scrapbook paper to the bag and glue on a bow to hide the staple.
